Hi anjaliu,

 

In addition to Greg_Deckler's suggestion, you can also import data from postgres database to data model, then import your file into Power BI where a dataset is created. So postgres data is also available in Power BI Service. You can take a look at supported data source in Power BI desktop or service:

Data sources in Power BI Desktop

Data sources for Power BI service

 

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

 

Best Regards,

    v-qiuyu-msft - Thanks for clarifying, that was poor language on my part that postgres is not available in the Service. The proper language is that you cannot create a postgres connection in the Service, but it is supported for refresh when creating a dataset from a Desktop file. That's what I meant by my statement, but it was worded poorly!

      Hi Greg_Deckler,

       

      Get your point. I'm happy that we have the same opinion. :smileytongue:
