Can I use an sql query to import from access database

$

Hello,

 

I would like to use sql query to select the fields from an access database table to import into power bi desktop.
I currently have the sql queries in a text file.

 

Is this possible?

If so, which option on the Get Data button should I use?
Will this import work for people that do not have ms access installed on their computer?

 

I tried using the ODBC import option.

I selected MS Access Database as the DSN and pasted the sql query into the last box.

 

The connection string field is optional, so I left it blank, but realized that my sql statement doesn't point to the database.


That is where my problem is. Where/how do I point to the database for the sql statement to point to?

 

I vaguely remember doing this in powerpivot/excel, but don't remember having to write code to do it.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 


Thank you
Tracy
