Direct Query with ODBC (IBM)

Hello everyone.

 

I'm beginner and I'm learning to use PBI for my company.

 

I don't understand how I can use Direct Query with ODBC.

 

My goal is to connect three tables with millions of rows and I want to use a dynamic filter that use parameters on Power BI Desktop. I want to use these filters in a sql query ( by Bind to parameter option).

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Best regards.

 

Andrea
