Prerequisites

You are expected to be familiar with Teradata and Power BI Desktop.

You will need the following accounts and systems.

• The Power BI Desktop is a free application for Windows. (Power BI Desktop is not available for Macs. You could run it in a virtual machine, such as Parallels or VMware Fusion, or in Apple’s Boot Camp, but that is beyond the scope of this article.)

• A Teradata instance with a user and password. The user must have permission to data that can be used by Power BI Desktop. Teradata must be accessible from Power BI Desktop.

• The .NET Data Provider for Teradata.
