Advocate IIIDatabricks ODBC driver error
Hi The_Bishop
This is a issue, the Engineers are working on this, and if you installed Desktop from Microsoft Store, you may consider re-downloading Desktop from the website and installing it before trying to connect to the data source.
Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center
Best Regards!

Advocate IIII got this reposnse from MS:
Issue: - DataSource.MissingClientLibrary: The Databricks ODBC driver is not installed on the host. Please install the appropriate driver.
From your statement we observed that you are referencing Databricks data sources in Power Query, you are getting the error as "DataSource.MissingClientLibrary: The Databricks ODBC driver is not installed on the host Please install the appropriate driver". And the version of your powerbi desktop is August.
Currently we are seeing few issues with August and October versions . Please try to download the July version & check the behavior

If this does not fix the issue, kindly install the driver by following the steps given in the document

In majority of the cases the issue got resolved after reinstalling the drivers.
This temp fix worked for me, thanks!
Hopefully they sort quickly, looks as though them releasing dark mode came with a few issues.....
