How to Connect to SQL Server in Power BI

Updated on:

Month

By:

Madhav Bhandari

Use this interactive demo to walk through the steps of connecting to SQL Server in Power BI.

‍

Here’s how to do it:

‍

Open your Power BI Desktop and navigate to your report.
Go to the 'Home' tab and select 'SQL Server'.
Enter the server and database information.
Click 'OK' to connect to SQL Server.

📌 Why this matters

Connecting Power BI to SQL Server transforms your static database into dynamic, interactive dashboards that update automatically as your data changes. You can pull millions of rows without performance issues, apply complex filters before data even reaches Power BI, and leverage existing database security roles.

This direct connection also preserves data relationships and stored procedures you've already built, meaning your existing database investments become the foundation for sophisticated analytics rather than requiring separate data preparation work.

Your product deserves an interactive demo
