Hello,
Of course yes ...even older versions.
I have tried to use ODBC with POWERQUERY 2010 EXCEL addin and an error occured something similar to powerbi.
Therefore I noticed ODBC connexion, in 2010 EXCEL version, activated by datatab assistant works fine.
I copied the properties and parameters generated with this connexion and also the SQL : select * from mytable and it works fine in POWERQUERY. Tried into POWERBI … also fine.
I read a lot of things and blogs about this problem around POWERQUERY and ODBC and came to the conclusion that to work with ODBC driver into POWERBI I have to use my tnsname (of course) but give also a select clause in option tab and now it is OK.
When I have expanded the M language generated, it shew an odbc.query instruction while it was an odbc.datasource at first without SQL clause.
What I have read tend to explain that it was a “normal ODBC driver dysfunction” as there were some restrictions. The advice was to use ORACLE driver as far as possible. But as the workaround above it is OK for me.
Hope it helps.
Regards.
