how do i connect Power BI to IBM notes desktop app?

[vjnvinod]

Hi ,

Can anyone help me with the process of connecting IBM Notes desktop to power BI?

There's an ODBC driver out there for IBM or a third-party, can't remember.

Here's one:

@Greg_Deckler

just checking as i am not a technical guy, i have IBM notes installed in my system, does that mean i have IDBC driver installed in my system already?

[Greg_Deckler]

I don't believe so but I'm not a Notes expert thank God. I have used the Layer 3 connector to connect to Notes systems via ODBC in the past and it worked pretty well. That was for data conversion purposes.

do we need any driver for connecting to organizational sharepoints as well?

[Greg_Deckler]

No, you shouldn't need anything for that if you have SharePoint 2010 or better or SharePoint Online.
