This can increase development time and costs. In such cases, maintaining live connections or refreshing data automatically can also be challenging. While Microsoft continuously expands its supported data source list, limited native connectivity can create hurdles for organizations relying on uncommon systems, potentially limiting the scope of Power BI implementations.[/size]</span>
