How to connect Power BI to StarRocks

I have read on some articles that Starrocks could be directly connected to Power BI. But when I try to connect using Power BI Desktop, there would be some sort of error that makes it impossible to connect.
If someone could write a step by step guide about connecting and connector between the 2 would be a great help. Thanks!

have you tried the PowerBI mysql connector? If you get an error/issue, we need more info similar to this post. https://forum.mirrorship.cn/t/topic/9740

I have tried the mysql connector with the same errors as your mirrorship topic
Starrocks version: 3.1.0
max_allowed_packet: 1073741824
Power BI version: 2.126.1261.0 (24.02)

Three months gone, have you been able to successfully connect Power BI with Starrocks? I’m in a situation that I need to do the same.

For your question, we stopped making this work. We also didn’t receive any other support further than what you have read.

Fred, now three months since you asked. Have you found a solution ? I haven’t yet tried it, but am looking at Starrocks and this was a concern.
And if you have found a solution, was it a MySQL import driver for PowerBI or were you able to make a direct query type of driver work ?

I’m afraid that StarRocks OSS cannot connect with Power BI well. I suggest you contact CelerData in the community Slack. They will have some solutions.
