Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Power BI Data Connectors

In Power BI, connectors act as bridges between your data sources and the Power BI environment. They essentially allow you to retrieve data from various locations and bring it into Power BI for analysis and visualization. Connectors offer a wide range of options to connect to various data sources, eliminating the need for complex configurations or custom coding.

At CData, we build customer data connectors that extend Power BI with real-time connectivity to a wide range of data sources. Our Power BI connectors offer several advantages over the standard Power BI connectors, particularly when dealing with a wider range of data sources or needing more advanced control.

Benefits include:

  • Connect to almost anything: Access a massive variety of data sources including databases, cloud apps, on-premise applications, and even niche APIs
  • Real-time Data Access (DirectQuery): Widely supported by CData Power BI Connectors, Direct Query offers major advantages for data access, particularly when you're dealing with large datasets.
  • Fast and secure: Transfer data quickly and securely with optimized performance and encryption.

Installing CData Power BI Connectors involves downloading the specific connector for your data source and following the setup instructions.

  2. Run the Installer: Once downloaded, run the installer for the CData Power BI connector. Follow the on-screen instructions during the installation process.
