Power Query and Salesforce Objects

[cmcreynolds]

In the June 4(?), 2015 update Power Query added a feature to it's "SalesForce Objects" option -

"Import relationships between Salesforce tables"

But, it isn't intuitive to me how it works. I tried grabbing objects that are related in SF, but nothing "happened" that I could see.

Has anyone successfully used this option? If so, could you briefly explain what it does?

You've probably seen this already:

But I'd encourage you to contact the Power Query Team directly to get more info about this or post your question directly on the Power BI forum to get the Power Query team involved. Home - Microsoft Power BI Community

Yeah - I've seen that post and others like it, but they just say "hey look what we have" and don't really explain how it's useful (when I try to use it, it creates a relationship, but they time out the SF log in on just one of the two objects I pulled - weird).
