Access data on Virtual Machine
- Anonymous4 years ago
Hi bscruggs ,
Based on my test, For simple files on vm,such as excel, csv,text ...you may right-click it -->Choose "Give access to" --> Click "copy" as shown below:
Then go back to local computer, open PBI--> As for my example, connect to Text/CSV -->Paste the file path( need to remove the prefix before "file" , remove the suffix ")" ,change the vm name to the VM machine path), the final file path is like this:
file:\\10.xxx.xx.xx\Users\Admin\Desktop\Data.csvAfter entering the credentials, you could connect successfullly.

Hi parry2k,
Thanks for that. I will try and map the network drive. I do have an additional quesiton though. Will the step you outlined help me connect to an ODBC connection on the virtual machine? I.e. Power BI (local) -> Vitual Machine -> ODBC connection on virtual machine.
thanks,
