Power BI Datamart

It is an Azure SQL database, with a visual query designer so users don’t need to write SQL to get the data out to BI tools, Excel or ML algorithms. It also generates a Power BI dataset automatically, which we can use to create Power BI reports.

After we create a Datamart, we click on Get Data and use PowerQuery to connect to various data sources such as Azure SQL database, Azure Data Lake Storage, Databricks (Spark), Azure Synapse, HDInsight, Sharepoint, Excel files, text files, JSON files, Parquet files, API, Salesforce, Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Oracle DB, IBM DB2, Teradata, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Access, SAP, Analysis Services and ODBC (link):
