Connecting to Delta Lake tables with Power Query

The podcast episode discusses a new feature in Power Query that allows users to connect to Delta Lake tables. The feature enables users to read data from Delta Lake tables and perform various operations on them. This is a significant development as it removes the need for additional compute resources, such as SQL servers or Databricks, to access and transform data. The function also supports nested structures within the tables and offers features like time travel for accessing different versions of the data. This new capability has implications for both data flows and semantic models, opening up opportunities for more efficient and streamlined ETL workflows.
