I have the connection string connecting to NoSql. But when I try to create DSN using ODBC, it failed. 

Error:

Connection Failed. 

[MongoDB][ODBC 1.4(w) Driver] Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', ststem error: 0

 

Please help

I don't think it would work. 

 

I already used System DSN. I need to use Power BI to connect to MongoDB enterprise, and create a report. The document above doesn't support Power BI Desktop.

Tried User DSN/System DSN. And Unicod Driver/ANSI Driver. Both returns the same error. Please advise.
