Fetch`DataChunks` into lists of objects or exclude them from the query #2

Closed AlanRynne closed 3 years ago

AlanRynne commented 3 years ago

PowerBI connector fetches the raw data from the Speckle server, but it comes with chunked lists, so it's not really very useful.

We must figure out a way to process that into the actual list of objects in PowerQuery M.

After several chats with Claire we decided to park this for the time being.

Closing this issue, but should be reopened if/when the time comes.

@AlanRynne @clairekuang can you please elaborate? Not being able to process chunked data makes this connector a bit useless, so we should def try to do that.

In short we will either try to exclude the DataChucks, since they only currently affect geometry or we will look into developing the plugin as a PowerBI Visual

In progress: code in place, needs debugging

These are not real blockers since users can manually omit these columns after fetch
