Hello,
Currently i have Power Bi connected to Mongo DB with an ODBC connector that implies the "Import" Connectivity. As this Database is large, it is very long to refresh the dataset.
I want to connect Power Bi to Mongo DB using "Direct Query" as to only retrieve what's necessary.
So far, i created a new system DSN that uses MongoDB ODBC 1.4.2 ANSI Driver. Then in Power Bi :
1 - i selected BI Connector (as i have mongosqld running on my server, which is mongodb's bi connector)
2 - I selected my new system DSN :
3 - after clicking OK i typed my credentials (please note that i get to this step even if i type a dummy dsn name that doesn't exist)
4 - i observe the same error every time, though all needed tcp/udp ports are open (and i manage to connect with the ODBC connector) :
How can i connect Power Bi to MongoDB with Direct Query ?
Thanks a lot
