Sharing ODBC connected file

‎12-27-2018 04:37 PM

I have an Excel power query file that links to an ODBC connection to an ERP database.  I would like to share this file with several users who do not have an ODBC connection. It errors out when they try to refresh the Excel power query file. Do you have any recommendations on how I can accomplish this? Thanks

Hi @Patr5,

 

I suggest your to connect to the data source using Power BI desktop and publish the report to service. Then you can share the report to others. For more details, please check the online document.
