Hey @oussama8046 ,

 

maybe the ODBC driver is not installed on the machine you are working with. Please be aware that Power BI comes in a 64bit and 32bit version. Most of the time the 64bit is installed due to the nature of modern laptops/desktop machines. Make sure that the appropriate ODBC driver is installed.

 

Hopefully, this provides some additional information to tackle your challenge.

 

Regards,

Tom
