Hello All, I am using Powerapp on a Mac laptop ( Chrome Browser ). To connect the Powerapp to a SQL Server: 1- I created a Container on Docker and connected to a SQL Server - Successful Now that I need to connect my Powerapp to the SQL Server via on premises Gateway, I am not able to i. Connecting to an SQL Server instance as a Windows domain user is relatively straightforward when you run R on Windows, you have the right ODBC driver installed, and your network is setup properly. You normally don’t need to supply credentials, because the ODBC driver uses the built-in Windows authentication scheme. Assuming your odbcinst.ini file includes.

Opening a connection to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (e.g. *.xls) is achieved using the Microsoft Excel driver, typically called 'Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)'. Unfortunately, this driver is available only on Windows, not Unix.

The easiest way to check if the driver is available to your Python environment (on Windows) is to use

The resulting list will show any matching drivers, e.g.,

You can also check for the driver on your PC by navigating to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC), and then click on the 'Drivers' tab. The Excel driver will be listed there, if it is installed. It may have a slightly different name. Microsoft excel 2015 for mac.

Be careful of the data types in your Excel spreadsheet. The Excel driver uses the most common data type from the first 8 rows of the spreadsheet to determine the data type of each column. So if you have 5 numbers and 3 text values in the first rows of a column, the column will be considered numeric, and the 3 text values will be returned as NULL!

Overall though, it has to be said, Excel is not best suited for being accessed with an ODBC connection. You may want to consider using some other Python module instead of pyodbc, for example xlrd.
