Can we use ODBC driver with Power BI web?

[vallamreddy123]

Hi There,

we just started using power bi and we are using the Power BI web version. We have a requirement that we need to show our service now change request data on power bi report. So we would like to use the ServiceNow ODBC driver for this. We donot want to use Power BI desktop.  But we don't find an option on web power bi to use a ODBC driver. Is there a way that i can use ODBC driver? Anyother way that i can get change request data from servicenow to the powerbi report?

Hi @vallamreddy123 

The fastes way to connect Servicenow to Power BI is to install Power BI Connector app on your Servicenow instance:

Thank you.

You can't user Power Bi Service (web) for ODBC. You can suggest the idea on https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas

You must use Power Bi Desktop to connect with odbc.
