How to connect Power BI Desktop to cloud data base that requires a remote connection

‎05-25-2023 08:57 AM

I am new to Power BI.  Involved in an SaaS ERP implementation.  I have a remote connection to the ODBC data base that I established on a remote instance of Excel that is in the same cload source as the ERP.  How can I connect my desktop BI to the ODB data base?  Ultimately, looking to be able to schedule auto-refreshes for the dashboards created.  Thanks.

Thanks.  I will work with my administrator to get it set up.

Based on your description, you can use the ODBC connector?

Do I need to load that on the remote cloud server or on my desktop instance?
