Power BI Service AWS

Hi Experts,

 

I retrieved an AWS database via Power BI Desktop and built a report. The owner/admin of the database has approved my IP address. I have published the report in the Power BI Service environment. In Power BI Desktop, I can refresh the report.

 

The problem:

 

I can't refresh the report in Power BI Service. I see so many options online, but don't know what the best solution is. I'm curious what the cheapest/easiest solution is possible. For example, I am thinking of:

 

- Can the AWS database owner/admin approve/whitelist the IP address of powerbi.com?

 

I'd really like to hear how you look at this.

 

Thanks!!!!

 

KG,

 

John

Hi @JohnPowerAmbi 

 

When connecting to data within AWS (Redshift/Athena) you will need to install and configure a Power BI Gateway.

 

Install an on-premises data gateway | Microsoft Learn

 

And then once that is done you would need to configure to connect to your AWS Service.

 

Here is an example below connecting to Athena.

Did you know you can query data from AWS S3 into Power BI? - FourMoo | Power BI | Data Analytics
