Databricks error

Hi,

 

I'm getting the below error from yesterday when try to refresh the connections to Azure Databricks views in Power BI Desktop

 

The Databricks ODBC driver is not installed on the host. Please install the appropriate driver.

 

Came to know from previous posts that it is related to a recent version of Power BI. Will this gets resolved automatically or should I try installing new Databricks ODBC driver

 

Thanks

Praveen

@Praveen_s Hi! Download the Latest Databricks ODBC Driver and then try refreshing the connection to the Databricks views to see if the issue is resolved. I resolved in this way.

Hi @Praveen_s ,
Based on your description, are you using Power BI Desktop downloaded from the App Store, if so, the product team is aware of this and is actively working to resolve it. This issue can be mitigated by uninstalling PBI Desktop from MS Store and the installing PBI Desktop August release from download center. Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center.
In the meantime, you can do what BeaBF  says download the Latest Databricks ODBC Driver.

Best regards,
