The article at this link didnt solve the issue.

 

I want to connect to a RDS Postgresql instance. I have the db hostname, username and password alonf with the certificate to log into the server.

You actually have 2 options:

1. Connect directly to PostgreSQL

2. Through ODBC connection

On this option you need to create the connection first on ODBC Data SourceAdministrator. Check if the client is 32 or 64bit

Does any of the suggestions above allow refreshes via Power BI service?

Hi @prihana,

Based on my research, could you have tried to refer to below link to Configuring Power BI Connectivity to PostgreSQL Database:
