How to Add a Connection in Power BI

‍

‍

In Power BI, adding a connection means linking Power BI to a data source so it can import or query the data directly. Here’s how:

‍

  1. Launch Power BI and go to the 'Home' tab. Click the 'Get Data' button.
  2. You’ll see popular options or click 'More...' to browse all available connectors.
  3. Choose the source you want to connect to. Power BI will prompt you to add a file. Choose the file and click 'Open'.
  4. Once connected, Power BI shows a preview of the tables or data available.
  5. Select the data you want, click 'Load' to bring it in.
  6. Once connected, you can pull the data into Power BI and start building visuals.
