    Give the option to store Dataflow data in Parquet format, this can improve storage efficiency and Dataflow processing compared to .csv files.

    Thanks for all your votes! I'm pleased to say this feature's shipping in the March 2021 update: Support for saving analytical dataflow data in Parquet file format - Power Platform Release Plan | Microsoft Docs

    Hello Raju,

    The idea proposed here is to write files produced by Power BI Dataflows in Parquet format instead of CSV - not read parquet files.

    Kindly confirm if this clears the misunderstanding and whether this feature will be released soon.
