Is there a way to Get an ISAM database into PowerBI?

[ddean]

We have some legacy applications that are still using ISAM databases is there a way to bring ISAM databases into PowerBI?

Hi @ddean,

I am not familar with ISAM database. Based on my research, we are not able to directly connect to ISAM database from Power BI.

However, if you can find ISAM ODBC driver, you can consider to create a  ODBC data source for the ISAM database, then connect to the ODBC data source from Power BI Desktop using ODBC entry as shown in the following screenshot.



Thanks,
