Azure SQL - Live connection

Hey guys,

 

Im trying to create a live connection to data in an azure sql database

 

However, when i do click on the get data icon and click on the azure icon i get the message below. in some of the tutorials ive seen - there should be a "connect" button and not "download desktop" icon. can someone please help me figure out what im missing. 

 

Thanks,

Hey,

 

I assume that the tutorials are a little older.

 

Just use Power BI Desktop to connect to your Azure SQL database. If you want to share your report / or data model that you created from the Azure SQL data source then you can publish the report to a workspace hosted in the Power BI service.

 

Hopefully, this is what you are looking for.

 

Regards,

Tom
