Is it possible to connect PBI desktop to JDBC via ODBC JDBC bridge?

[john_neely]

Is it possible to connect the PBI desktop to a JDBC via ODBC JDBC bridge and if so are there any recommendations on bridges? I was unable to find anything within the site and I've already seen the suggestion to add JDBC connection so don't refer me there. Any help is much appreciated.

@john_neely,

There is no built in connector for JDBC data sources in Power BI Desktop, an idea has been submitted in this link, please vote it up.

In addition, do you want to add DSN for the JDBC source in ODBC data source administrator? If so, have you tried to connect to the DSN via ODBC data source in Power BI Desktop?

Regards,
Lydia

Hi there,

Any movement on this? I'm also in healthcare informatics, and lack of JDBC is killing our capability of switching to PowerBI from Tableau. 

Thank you!
