google-big-queryHow can I use Power BI to connect to Google BigQuery?

Power BI can be used to connect to Google BigQuery by using the Google BigQuery connector. To use the connector, you will need to first create a project in the Google Cloud Platform and then create a service account with the necessary permissions to access BigQuery.

Once the service account is created, you will need to generate a JSON key file for the service account. This key file can then be used to authenticate the connection between Power BI and BigQuery.

Example code to connect to BigQuery using the Google BigQuery connector:

let
    Source = GoogleBigQuery.Database("project-id"),
    #"project-id" = "my-project-id"
in
    Source

1. let - This is a keyword which introduces the code block.
