Hi Revathi,

 

Have you tried using the latest version (the one that released on 7/1)? What kind of error did you get?

 

Thanks

    This looks to be a dated, but active thread. I'm interested in a solution to this issue as we have an extensive FileMaker solution built. Connecting PBI directly to those tables would be a huge time saver. 

     

    I'm new to Power BI. How can I determine the version I'm using? Are there any specific instructions on setting up a Power Bi to Filemaker connection?

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Steve

      I am successful connecting Microsoft BI to a Filemaker database via ODBC. This file is hosted on a Filemaker Server 16 (Windows)

      Microsoft Power BI Desktop version: 2.50.4859.502 64-bit (September 2017)

      Filemaker Server 16 version: 16.0.1.184

       

      Data refreshes as expected.
