Smart heating
Hi Eric
Have you looked at Time Series Insights?
Also for everyone to be able to understand better your scenario and make suggestions, can you share a bi tmore about your application? what are you trying to use PowerBI for? just displaying data and reporting, analytics, other?
And you are right, Azure IoT Central is still limited as of today when it comes to data analytics. We have lots of work in progress in this area.

Hello @Olivier
Eric just transmitted my post, I'm the one who wrote it.
I'm trying to create an interface that will supervise energy consumption, temperature, humidity, air quality and so on.
The problem is that PowerBI does not support scientific formats and units. For example, 100m² = text in PowerBI. It doesn't recognize "m²" as a unit and the mechanism that is supposed to be smart transforms all my data into text.
This makes it very hard to enter my data, and time-consuming.
Why the only formats available is "currency". Isn't it supposed to monitor all sort of data?
Please help me figure out how to add new formats to the PowerBI software.
I contacted the support team and no answer about this problem...
Thank you for answering me Olivier and EricStarker for transmitting my message.
Waiting for your answer.
Have a great day!

Hi Sed_ki92
I am afraid I can't answer to the Power BI question and I recommend posting it on https://community.powerbi.com/
Now, that said, have you tried out Azure Time Series Insights?
