Hi v-huizhn-msft,

 

first thanks for your reply.

If I open "Option and settings" -> "Options" I have no Option to click on "Preview features" and to enable "Custom data connector".

 

Are there any other Steps to enable the Exasol Connector?

 

best regards,

Hi yellow_days,

It's weird, please update your desktop to the latest version, I test it in my PBI desktop, it shows correctly as follows.

    Hi v-huizhn-msft,

     

    I just deleted it and reinstalled it. I still have the problem.

     

    Are you using Power BI Desktop Optimized for Report Server? Because I do, and if i open "the normal" power bi desktop, i get "Preview features".
