Summary

This article guides users on how to extend their Couchbase Analytics setup by connecting it with Power BI Desktop using the CData Power BI driver for Couchbase. To start, a user needs to have a Couchbase Server Enterprise Edition 6.x cluster with Data and Analytic services enabled, and set up a single-node local install of Couchbase Server EE. The user then creates shadow datasets in Analytics and initializes them by connecting to their Couchbase server. Next, the user installs Power BI Desktop and sets up the CData Power BI driver for Couchbase, specifying parameters such as data source name, user credentials, and verbosity level. Once set up, users can create new reports in Power BI Desktop sourced from Couchbase Analytics, exploring insights and leveraging other tools with the many available Couchbase CData drivers.
