I am able to get data into Excel successfully using the DSN after updating our ODBC driver. But I am still not able to connecto to the DSN through Power BI. The ODBC trace log doesn't show the call to SQLDriverConnectW() at all.

 

Any ideas in diagnosing the Power BI generic ODBC connector would be helpful.

Ram
