Postgresql connection issue on webapp

Hi community,

 

I am triyng to connect a test premium power BI on the webapp (https://app.powerbi.com/) on a postgresql.

 

But I didn't find how I am suppose to provide the port of the SQL server.

It is never indicated in the documentation : https://learn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/power-query/connectors/postgresql#connect-to-a-postgresql-database...

 

Can powerBI online connect to a postgres that isn't on the standard port ?

Hi @PAD_ ,

You can specify the port number in the Server field by appending it after the server name or IP address, separated by a colon. For example, if your PostgreSQL server is running on and listening on port , you would enter in the Server field:

<YourServerName>:5433
