Tying In My Data Base

I am having trouble creating a Query from my data base.
My data base has a built in reporting function that can either export to CSV or create a CSV connection string.
I have been able to export to Excel no problem.
This is a web based data base that assigns its users an API key for athuentication.

IF THIS IS THE WRONG FORUM STRING PLEASE EXCUSE MY IGNORANCE.

Any help would be highly appreciated,

Yes my issue was that I could not get my connection string to pull from our online data base.

This has been resolved. The issue was with the code I had written in the query. I small mistake but I couldn't seem to narrow it down!

Thanks for the assistance all!

Hi Anonymous ,

Do you mean that you couldn't connect to your web database using Power BI?

You need to use OData or create a custom connector. Here is the document for your reference :

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-connector-extensibility

And you could check if Power BI supports your data base here.
