Greetings,
I am looking for a way to connect Power BI to cassandra.
I know that the direct connection isn't possible and it needs to go through the ODBC connection by the use of a driver.
Taken from: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-connect-using-generic-interfaces
However, I am struggling with a step by step documentation of how it can be connected and setup with the help of a driver.
Can somebody guide me?
I prefer using DataStax instead of CData due to the licensing contraints of the client
Thanks in advance
Hi @PC2790 ,
Check the blog about how to connect to Cassandra as an ODBC data source.
