How do we connect to the database?

Answer Posted / hema

Most data sources can be chosen through the Database Expert
dialog box. The Database Expert appears when you create a
report from scratch using Blank Report, or when you choose
Database Expert from the Database menu.

Note: You also select a data source in the Report
Creation Wizards. The Data screen in all of the Report
Creation Wizards, except the OLAP Report Creation Wizard, is
much like the Database Expert dialog box.

To select a data source
Choose Database Expert from the Database menu.
The Database Expert dialog box appears.

Use the tree view in the Available Data Sources list of the
Data screen to select your data source:
Current Connections
Favorites
History
Create New Connection
Repository

Some popular choices in the Create New Connection folder are
described here:

Access/Excel (DAO),Database Files,ODBC (RDO),OLAP
OLE DB (ADO)

Note: The data source options available in the Create New
Connections folder depend on the data access components
selected during installation.

Kindly Help for this Below Scenario, I am going to implement Power BI into our internal software. I’m familiar with the fact that each user can pay $9.99 a month to build and view reports but what I need to know is how can we embed Power BI into our application so that any users that log into our application can see the reports without the monthly fee. I’ve researched enough that it can be done. What I am not familiar with is how to do it or the pricing of embedding it into an application. I think they do pricing on how many renders you do or something. Would you be able to look into how we could embed it into our software and the cost?
