Regarding New updates

Hi everyone, 

One thing I need to ask from you that I have downloaded Power BI from website and not from windows store, so If I want to update my software then I will have to manually click to download the latest version.

But the issue is the drivers that I have installed for my previous versions (for getting the data from direct query and 2-3 more), what about those, do I have to install the drivers again or the old drivers would work ?


Thanks !

  • Hi Anonymous 

    Monthly update version of Power BI Desktop/service would update the features for power bi desktop/service.

    Not every new version updates the drivers.

    For example,  odbc driver for SAP HANA, if the new updates blog says that there is a update for the "SAP HANA connector", you may check the official document and if the odbc driver has a update.

     

    Best Regards

    Maggie

  • Is it not updating automatically or can only be upgraded, I have got one from App store and it got updated and drivers remain there. Not sure on the download version
