Connecting Power Bi with InfluxDB

[kevin04102005]

Hello all,

i just started a project where i send data to InfluxDB. in this database are values and timestamps. 

I would like to visualize them with a dashboard in Power Bi or more likely in a report. 

Tested many ways via ChatGpt but never got it to work. Is it possible to visualize data from InfluxDB (Database) with Power Bi?

Thanks for taking your time.

Hello !

There’s no native Power BI connector for InfluxDB.

In PQ, you can call the InfluxDB API where you post a Flux query to /api/v2/query and parse the CSV in PBI. https://community.influxdata.com/t/sharing-example-power-bi-power-query-to-execute-flux-query/11200

InfluxDB 3 exposes an Apache Arrow Flight SQL endpoint with ODBC/JDBC drivers. You need to install the Flight SQL ODBC driver, create a DSN, then use PBI ODBC but you will be able only to use the import https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb3/core/tags/flight-sql/

CData has a paid connector that you can try it maybe.
