Hi there,
Very quick question as I can't find much documentation online. Has anyone attemted to sucessfully connect to Sage 50 Cloud Accounts before and if so which steps did you take?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@parry2k Got it to work.
Steps:
1. Install ODBC driver compatible with version of Sage 50 you're on - Install the 64-bit ODBC driver (sage.com)
2. Configure ODBC driver on your machine
3. Connect to data via it
Their support was a bit crap so some googling helped.
@Kasia29 good luck!

@Kasia29 ouch. That's bad, usually, there are APIs available to read the data and then use that API in Power BI. I guess your best bet is to export some reports from the system and then use that exported file in Power BI. and if they allow schedule export, it might work, run schedule export, store in a cloud location like one drive, etc and then use these files for Power BI. 🤷
I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make effort to give Kudos to whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!

@Kasia29 do they provide an API to access the data?

@parry2k nothing of such sort. I'm just off with their support - there pretty much isn't a way to connect to Sage 50 Cloud Accounts. There's no database as such where data can reside...all data gets logged in .dta files which only the system can read 👎

I get this error:
Details: "ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 8.0(a) Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost:13541' (10061)
ERROR [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 8.0(a) Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost:13541' (10061)"
I am not a developer but I am trying to understand what else i need to do so that I can connect Sage to Power BI.
Thanks,
Karen
