How to stream Azure Powershell output to Azure table storage - azure

Question

I have powershell cmdlets that output either a list or formatted as table.
I would like to stream the output to an azure table storage to be accessed by Power BI.
Is this possible?
Thanks

When working with Azure Storage Tables you don't have any way to directly stream to them but you can write data row by row.
Writing to a table is done like this
# Get the necessary modules, if needed. Latter one was not installed for me by running
# the top command.
# Install-Module AzureRM
# Install-Module AzureRMStorageTable
# Login to Azure RM model
Login-AzureRmAccount
# Some variables
$storageAccountName = <account name>
$tableName = <table name>
$partitionKey1 = <partition name
$rg = <resource group name>
# Get the storage account and its context
$storageAccount = Get-AzureRmStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rg `
-Name $storageAccountName
$ctx = $storageAccount.Context
# Create a new table, if needed
# New-AzureStorageTable –Name $tableName –Context $ctx
# Get a reference to the table
$storageTable = Get-AzureStorageTable –Name $tableName –Context $ctx
# Add some rows into the table
Add-StorageTableRow `
-table $storageTable `
-partitionKey $partitionKey1 `
-rowKey ("CA") -property #{"username"="Chris";"userid"=1}
