When you import data from a database, you must establish communication between MicroStrategy and your data source. To establish communication, you create a database connection. A database connection specifies the connection information used to access the database that is your data source. The database connection enables MicroStrategy Desktop to retrieve data from your data source.

Hi All

 

Is there a connector available in Power BI Web for MicroStrategy? I know with MSTR 9.x and SouthportAg (older version of MSTR) we can connect via desktop.

 

Thanks

      At least the (personal) gateway does not recognize this connector; scheduled refresh on powerbi.com did not work. Not sure if there's other ways schedule a refresh -
