Cannot connect PostgreSQL to Power BI. Stuck at the same error message

Hello,

 

I am attempting to import data from PostgreSQL to Power BI but I keep on getting the same error message below. I installed Npgsql v4.0.0, but still continue to get the error message below. 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi @wfarrell,

 

Please refer to this blog to check the correct steps of connecting to PostgreSQL from desktop.

 

Besides, you could try to use used ODBC instead. Connecting Power BI To PostgreSQL
