@alladisai

Power BI Embedded so far only supports direct query to Azure SQL DB and Azure SQL DW. And based on my test, the option 7 works to update the connection string to an Azure SQL DB.

I don't exactly clear about your scenario, however you mentioned ODBC, I guess that is the reason cause the error. You can check this idea Support other data sources Direct Query using Gateway on Embedded Power BI and vote it up.

Hi Sai,

I am trying to connect powerBI with Hive. I have a connection string. Can you please help me with how I can do it?

Did you use any specific driver?

In a few days we will be moving to Azure cloud and I also want to know if you were successfully able to do it.

Thanks in advance
