Connecting power bi to postgres using odbc connection
Hello,
I'm quite new with power bi so please apologies if i'm not clear enough.
I've just been trying to set up power bi desktop to connect to postgres using odbc string but i keep getting the error below:

Something that also seems odd is the [1] in the connection:
Is there a way to clear cache, maybe?
Thanks very much in advance.
The solution was to name the data source PostgresSQL30 when adding a system DNS.
