Hi Nadine,

By any chance would the Power BI / Delta Lake connector work for you?   It's currently being included as part of the connectors as part of PR#87 thanks to Gerhard Brueckl as well.

HTH!

this is the error i'm getting :
DataSource.Error : ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][Hardy] (35) Error from server: error code: '0' error message: 'Error operating GET_COLUMNS Unrecognized type name: STRUCT<`type`: TINYINT, `size`: INT, `indices`: ARRAY<INT>, `values`: ARRAY<DOUBLE>>'.
Détails :
    DataSourceKind=Databricks
    DataSourcePath={"host":"adb-775013124209131.11.azuredatabricks.net","httpPath":"sql\/protocolv1\/o\/775013124209131\/0516-223443-joked310"}
    OdbcErrors=[Table]

i'm trying to write stream data in delta table and then pushing it to power bi using directquery for real time visualizations 
i'm sorry for disturbing Mr Denny but i'm still beginner using databricks and delta lake , it's the first time i'm using this

Hi Nadine, 

Struct datatype is not recognized by odbc it seems, so you need to create a view over exploded columns of the struct column. Then you can use this view from PowerBI. Ensure that all struct columns are casted to proper datatypes
