Non-third party connections to PowerBI?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone was able to directly connect Workday data to PowerBI? So far, I've only found two third-party connectors (ZappySys and CData) that are available to connect the data, but we'd rather not go down that route.

Hi  @Anonymous ,

In general, if you use a database that has a specific connector in power bi, it is recommended to use the specific connector because it is created specifically for the database, and if the database does not have a direct connection method in power bi, you can try to use ODBC.
