Request: make ODBC data source as part of most frequently used data sources

I have Free PBI Desktop v2.100.1182 (64 bit free version Dec 2021) on Windows 10.

 

I use an ODBC data source 99% of the time. This will not change in the next 10 years. I'd like to skip a few steps and when I get a new data source, have the ODBC somewhere on the Get Data menu because I use it a lot. Sort of like the File menu which has the most recent files opened on it. 

 

Could this feature be there on a newer version of PBI Desktop?

 

This would be really handy! Thanks!

Hi @croberts21,

 

Currently, it is not supported in Power BI. Connectors displayed on Get Data tab is fixed. But you could consider voting for similar idea in Power BI Ideas where the product group collects suggestions from users to improve this product. Thanks in advance!
