    Hi Anonymous,

    If you don't have a database driver, you will use Microsoft Driver in desktop. Then you publish it to service, it still use the Microsoft Driver when you refresh data in Power BI service. For your error message, I suggest you create a support ticket in the right bottom here to get dedicated support.

HI v-huizhn-msft,

Just to be sure...

If i was using the IBM driver through Power BI Desktop, and then publish this repport, when I created the DataSource in Gateway : is the IBM Drivers still avaible.

There is something to change when create the DataSource ? I don't find any option.

How does it detect that dateset using Microsoft or IBM driver ?

 

Thanks for precision.
