Creating a live Connection

[Khayo]

Good day, I recently did some research on creating a live connection in Power BI and came across a good source.

This was beneficial to me as I am fairly new in Power BI and the data I was working with was on sharepoint in an excel file.

What other methods can one implement to create a live connection to a data source irrelevant of it being on sharepoint?

Hi @Khayo,

You can use Direct Query to connect to any database online. Here's a link for your reference:
