default catalog
Does any1 know how to get the default catalog of databricks to connect to power bi. I can get the server host name and http path but whenever I put the current catalog, it throws a key error. Without it, I can't write custom sql queries.

Hi smpa01 - Azure Databricks doesn't use a catalog by default, or the catalog might be named differently. Try leaving the "Default catalog" field blank and only specifying the "Database" field, or try setting the catalog to hive_metastore if that’s the default catalog in your Databricks environment. the error may be due to how the Databricks Unity Catalog or your database structure is set up.
