SQL Standard 2016, Tabular Model with Live Connection?

[kaarel]

Hi!

I know that connecting from PowerBI to SSAS MD requires SQL Enterprise Edition, With SQL 2016 Standard upto 16GB Tabular model is supported. Will this work with PowerBI live connection?

Thanks,

Kaarel.

Hi @kaarel,

It will work that use the live connection to Tabular Model of SQL Server 2016 Standard edition in Power BI, there is no restriction on the SQL Server editions as long as they support Tabular Model. For more details, please check the following articles.
