Description

New-PowerBIDataset should be enhanced to support adding Live Connect and DirectQuery data sources, or if this is already supported, the documentation should be updated to reflect the same. As a top priority, Azure Analysis Services should be supported first.
I would expect the parameters for such functionality to mirror either connection string values specific to the source or the details needed in forming Power BI Desktop connection for Live Connect or DirectQuery scenarios.
Ideally the passing of credentials for the connection would integrate with Azure Key Vault.

Research direction

Start at the New-PowerBIDataset entry point and review its current support and documentation for dataset types. Determine the required Azure Analysis Services, Live Connect, and DirectQuery inputs, including credential handling, then define completion criteria for supported scenarios or accurate documentation.
