Unable to Change Source Database from Native PowerBI Redshift Driver to ODBC DSN Redshift Driver

[jaws2k]

Hi,

We have a number of reports/apps setup that use the Native PowerBI Redshift driver as a datasource.

They are all set to Import Mode, and we are wanting to setup refresh schedules to update the datasets.

As the Redshift Cluster is within a VPC, we get permission denied and HTTP 400 errors when trying to refresh the data and/or update credentials in the PowerBI Service.

The workaround we have been told is to use ODBC DSN's via our Enterprise Gateway, and these have been setup.

The issue I have is that when I try to change the Source for an imported table in PowerBI Desktop from the Native Redshift to the ODBC DSN, I receive an error. The table is just an import as-is, it has no transformations or steps after the initial import.

The steps I use work for changing datasources that typically works is:

1. Add 'new' ODBC datasource, select database and table, check and load the data

2. Apply Changes

3. Go Edit Queries, select 'new' ODBC datasource, and then Advanced Editor

4. Select all text in Advanced Editor and copy to clipboard

5. Close Advanced Editor

6. Select 'old' Native PowerBI Redshift datasource, and then Advanced Editor

5. Select all text in Advanced Editor and delete; paste previous datasource text

6. Click Done in Advanced Editor.

7. Apply Changes

When Applying, when it gets to "Creating connection in model..." we receive the error:

"The specific resource 'Odbc' insn't supported as a live connection."

Below is the contents of the "Copy details" link from the error:

Feedback Type:

Hi @jaws2k, 

From your description, it looks like you are connecting to Amazon Redshift use DirectQuery mode, and now you want to change data source from Amazon Redshift to ODBC, right? 

Before apply change in Query Editor, please change the connection mode from DirectQuery to Import, check if teh same issue occurs. 

Best Regards,
Qiuyun Yu

Hi @v-qiuyu-msft ,

No, due to the DAX limitations with DirectQuery, all our reports are set to Import Mode.
