How to use Python on top of a queried data table?

[Anonymous]

HI,

I want to use Python on top of a via ODBC queried data table. What is neccessary for that? 

Install Python on the Report Server? On my local machine? Choose the interpreter? Is there a guide to follow?

And how to set the link to the queried data? I guess Python is working with Pandas. 

Appreciate any help

Sorry for the mistake, I have just made some research and test with python. The finding is that you can only publish the pbix with python scripts to Power BI Service. Currently, Report Server do not support reports with python scripts. The limitation also mentioned in the official doc.

In fact, you don't install python on Power BI Report Server, you can only use python scripts in the Power BI Desktop(also for RS version), then save it to report server.

Please refer the doc:

So, there is no need to install Python on the on prem Report Server? 

Just install it on my local machine, use it in the PBI RS Desktop app and than upload this report to the on prem RS? 

Do I understand you correctly?
