Get Data in Databricks DBFS using Power BI Desktop

Hello all,

 

I try to connect to the data stored in DBFS of Databricks, using the connector Azure DataBricks with the credential ODBC in Power BI :

I get this folder empty :

In Databricks I have those folders below :

There any solution to fetch this data in DataBricks ? Thank you for your help.

 

Best,

Hi @MF_BI ,

Before you go, make sure you have everything you need.

  • Power BI Desktop 2.85.681.0 or above. 
  • After Power BI Desktop starts, it will prompt you for your Databricks credentials. You can provide your Databricks user name and password, a Databricks personal access token, or sign in with Azure Active Derectory.
  • An Azure Databricks cluster or Databricks SQL endpoint.

Please follow the document Connect Power BI Desktop to a Databricks cluster which introduces the steps in details.
