How to establish a cloud connection from a PostgreSQL in a Linux Server to my Power BI dashboard?

everton_data_br_0-1687545313130.png

Please, how could I import this data connection to my dashboard?
I am almost one month looking for an answer if this connection is possible.

Hi, @everton_data_br 

 

To establish a cloud connection from a PostgreSQL in a Linux Server to your Power BI dashboard, you can use the PostgreSQL connector in Power BI Desktop.

 

First, you need to make sure that your PostgreSQL server is accessible from the internet and that you have the necessary credentials to connect to it.

 

Next, you can create a new data source in Power BI Desktop by selecting "Get Data" from the Home tab and choosing "PostgreSQL" from the list of available connectors.

 

In the PostgreSQL connector dialog box, enter the server name, port number, database name, and credentials for your PostgreSQL server. You can also specify additional options, such as SSL encryption and query options.

 

Once you have entered the necessary information, click "Connect" to establish a connection to your PostgreSQL server. You can then select the tables or views that you want to use in your Power BI report and start building your dashboard.
