Connect to MongoAPI of Cosmosdb

[bernarditsapark]

Hi

I'm trying to connect to a Cosmosdb instance which is using the Mongodb API.

I've tried using the Cosmosdb connector in Power BI Desktop by (in the Azure Portal, Connection string blade) putting in the host name and the port, e.g https://myhost:myport  and using the primary password.

No joy - just times out.

I've tried using the Mongo ODBC driver and then using ODBC in PBI desktop - following the steps on the mongo db website for conneting a mongo db to PowerBI

Also no joy (an error about MySQL?)

How is it possible that Power BI can't connect to CosmosDB?

Hi @bernarditsapark 

did you try without port declaration?
