Connect data from Amazon AWS Services
Hi I am new at this, but I would like to know how I can: 1. Connect live data from Amazon AWS Services (right now the crawler dumps the data on Amazon S3 as zip files), or even to an SQL server ...
Anonymous Hey Lydia! Thank you very much for answering!
I tried all the links that you recommended, and download and installed the gateway. however i was unable to connect the server as power bi could not point to aws.
Is there an alternative way?
Hi skoalit,
What is the error message do you get? Have you connected to the SQL Server instance in Power BI Desktop?
Another possible option is to create a ODBC data source for SQL Server on AWS, then connect to the ODBC data source in Power BI Desktop.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang
