ODBC QUERY SERVER CONNECTION WITH POWER BI DESKTOP

‎07-22-2024 06:50 AM

Hello,

 

I am working on creating a live dashboard by connecting the odbc query server data with power BI desktop. Until today, I used the excel spreadsheet as the database , can you please let me know how i can set up odbc query server as a database which has all the tables and create live dashboards. It would be great if someone give me a link to nay youtube video that i oculd follow. 

 

The IT department are giving the access ro the ODBC query server and it has multiple tables in it, they are just giving me an access , rest i have to do everything.

 

Any feedback or support would be highly appreciated.

 

Thank you
