  2. In Parquet, provide the URL for the location of the Parquet file. Enter a path and filename if you're connecting to a local file. You can also select Advanced and build the URL from parts. In the example used in this article, the Parquet file is located in Azure Blob Storage.

Known issues and limitations

The Power Query Parquet connector only supports reading files from the local filesystem, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.

It might be possible to read small files from other sources using the Binary.Buffer function to buffer the file in memory. However, if the file is too large you're likely to get the following error:

Error: Parquet.Document cannot be used with streamed binary values.

Using the Binary.Buffer function in this way may also affect performance.
