    Hi nagaraj007 ,

     

    Based on my research, There is no connertor for .bds file in Power bi desktop currently.

    Btw, Have your tried ODBC connector?

    Hi

     

    Please change the extention of file .bds to .accdb  

    And open in access. keep in mind it might has password applied. So contact to Busy to get Password.

     

    Happy Coding.
