RE: Ability to run stored procedure using DirectQuery

We have a multi-tenant scenario. I can't imagine how I'm supposed to manage 50+ versions of the same query for each one.

Come on, MSFT, Crystal Reports has allowed the use of SPs since the '90s, NP. Tableau/Qlik have no issues with this either...hmmmm.

RE: Ability to run stored procedure using DirectQuery

How does this not work out of the box. Same with the heir slicer it should just be there and work.

RE: Ability to run stored procedure using DirectQuery

Our users expect the data to be real time when it's queried - direct query allows that, but isn't allowed to use stored procedures that return data.

Table value functions are an alternative, but for one of our basic scenarios, the data has to be returned from a stored procedure. This really hinders us from using Power BI.

Please include this feature.

RE: Ability to run stored procedure using DirectQuery

This is the basic requirement that should be available. Please add this feature at the earliest.

RE: Ability to run stored procedure using DirectQuery

This is a crucial feature needed for teams using Power BI Report Server. We have existing stored procs that have been vetted over time that we use in SSRS regularly, and we need to have these available to our Power BI reports.

RE: Ability to run stored procedure using DirectQuery

I am guessing this feature has to be used as part of paginated reports

RE: Ability to run stored procedure using DirectQuery

How can this not be fixed yet?? Absolute show stopper.

RE: Ability to run stored procedure using DirectQuery

Would like to be able to feed the procedure a selected value.
