Hi to every body an thanks in advance.
I'm trying to connect the Power BI service to a CLOUD Mysql Server, or AZURE SQL
It's possible to do this, or I need the PowrBi Desktop?
It's possible to do it using a gateway?
Thanks
Hi @Anonymous ,
Generally speaking, to connect to Azure SQL Database or CLOUD Mysql Server must use Power BI Desktop.
reference document link:
Create Power BI Connection to Azure SQL Database (mssqltips.com)
Azure SQL Database with DirectQuery - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
Best Regards,
Henry
