    How to add dbf file with over 1M rows to power query ?

    Hi Experts,

    as I mention in title I have a problem with adding to power query a dbf file with over 1M rows. What kind of data source I need to choose or to what format I need to convert dbf to load to PQ ?

    Thanks for help !

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    The Microsoft ODBC Desktop Database drivers include dBase drivers. Make sure you have dBase set up as a DSN source (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Set Up Data Sources (ODBC) )

    When you go to Data tab -> New Query, choose From Other Sources -> From ODBC

    There you should see option to choose DSN. If you don't see dBASE files there, check following link.

    It's the ACEODBC.DLL which contains the necessary dBase driver:

    odbc_dsn_dbase.jpg

    odbc_dsn_dbase_new.jpg

    If you're using Office 2013 32-bit, then you'll need the 32-bit drivers installed, using my link in post #8.

    Also, you may need to install 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components

    You will find this specific issue detailed in the link I provided earlier.

    Also see links below.

    I instaled 32 bit drivers and added it to SysWOW64 --> odbcad32 (they also appeared to System32 --> odbcad32 in DSN Users) but they are not avaiable from Create New Data Source in System32 --> odbcad32. Do you have an idea how to change it ?
