Hi,
I am having trouble connecting my model to Vertipaq.
A little bit of info before going into details of my issue: I am working with Excel 2013, therefore I'm using Vertipaq 1.6. Data source of my pbix are several csv files.
I have connect my pbix to daxstudio so I can identify my local host. The problem is that vertipaq also ask me for the name of my database. Which would be that? Am I missing something?
Thnks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @v-diye-msft
Actually it was a lot easier. I just had to:
Go to existing connections > Edit Connection > Compile > change localhost\ for localhost: in the Data Link Properties windows.
Thanks anyway.
Hi @Anonymous
Sorry I have no idea about your question, it's a little bit beyond my workscope. I would suggest you create a support ticket on Power BI Support page for better assistance. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/
