PowerBi Desktop App missing databricks connector

The absence of the Databricks connector in Power BI Desktop, even though it's present in the CertifiedExtensions folder, can be due to various reasons. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

1. **Check for Updates**: First, make sure that Power BI Desktop is up to date. Sometimes, connector availability can be linked to specific versions of the application. Go to "Help" > "Check for updates" to ensure that you have the latest version installed.

2. **Enable the Connector**: Ensure that the Databricks connector is enabled in your Power BI Desktop. Go to "File" > "Options and settings" > "Options" > "Security" and make sure "Always enable custom connectors" is checked. This option can be helpful for allowing custom connectors.

3. **Remove and Reinstall the Connector**: You may try removing the Databricks connector from the "CertifiedExtensions" folder and then reinstall it. Close Power BI Desktop, delete the Databricks.pqx file, and then restart Power BI Desktop. This can sometimes trigger a reinstallation of the connector.

4. **Reinstall Power BI Desktop**: If none of the above steps work, you may consider uninstalling and reinstalling Power BI Desktop. This can resolve any potential corruption in the installation.

5. **Check with Power BI Community**: Visit the [Power BI Community](https://community.powerbi.com/) and see if others are experiencing a similar issue. Sometimes, issues related to connectors are reported by other users, and you can find solutions or workarounds there.

6. **Contact Microsoft Support**: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support. They can provide more specific guidance and assistance for your particular case.

Connector availability and functionality can sometimes be affected by updates or issues specific to the application version you are using. Following the steps above should help you troubleshoot and potentially resolve this problem with the Databricks connector.
