Is it possible to use Data Historian or Historian Database with Bi?

Hi Bi Minds,

I would like to know if is possible to use Historian Database with Power Bi?
Also, is there any expertise in this kind of service? If so, would you recommend some links to understand this database concept?


Best regards,

Hi @dicarva ,

 

You could choose the appropriate third-party connector for your Data Historian to connect to Power BI, such as the PI ODBC Driver, Wonderware ODBC Driver, or others, depending on the system you are using.

 

Best Regards,

Bof
