Can a .Bak file be connected to in Power BI?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Assuming this is SQL Server .BAK files, just restore the .bak files to any SQL Server and use that. You could also take it a step further and just use the SQL Server as an intermediary and create bacpac files of them so that you can run the SQL Server using something low cost like Azure SQL DB.
