Hi Anonymous
If you want to connect to a specific Google Sheet file, you can generate a link and then use the Web connector in Power BI.
1. You click File -> Publish to Web
2. "Web Page" is changed to ".xlsx" or ".csv"
3. You click Publish.You paste the generated link into the connector Web in Power BI.
If you want to do it via ODBC then you need to download this driver: https://www.cdata.com/kb/tech/googledrive-odbc-power-bi.rst
