Automatically Connecting to ODBC

Hi,

 

I'm getting tired manually connecting my ODBC driver to Power Bi(Desktop) every time I login. Is it possible to have my ODBC automacially connect to Power Bi everytime I login?

 

Thank you

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    ODBC not support auto refresh, you need to manually refresh to get last data. (live connection and direct query mode can auto refresh data).You may try to set up a Gateway for the ODBC connection? With a gateway you can schedule a refresh for you report in power bi service.For further,please check this post.
