I need to load data from a dataflow that is in a Power BI workspace to an on-prem SQL Server database using Integration Services as the ETL tool.
Is it possible to connect from SSIS to the Power BI dataflow? And which connector(s) can/should I use?
I already installed CDM (Common Data Model) connector from Kingswaysoft so I'm trying to use the CDM Source, but I don't know what type of connection I should use in the CDM Source nor how I should pass the credentials and path (dataflow endpoint) to the dataflow.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

I tried the power query source. I followed the steps of the article you shared and I was able to set up a the M query and a power query connection in the Connection Managers but when I jump to the Column section of the Power Query Source I get the following error message:
Any ideas?
I'm trying to connect to a dataflow hosted on a workspace of on-prem PBI report server and I'm new to this so I should be doing something wrong.
Many thanks

Though related to another function/situation, I found a similar error here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/power-query-get-transform-the-import-xxx-matches/8335bba2-9c7b-47d8-a5d5-1ece1c9f9c4a

2023-10-03T13:01:49.8633333+00:00 An eventual alternative solution (similar but more straightforward) would be import the data through excel with power query and then use excel as source in SSIS.
