I have created this utility in Excel (and connect to a MS Access) The database -in Microsoft Access, is completed. I am in the second Phase of the project; I have successfully published database to SharePoint (lists) and will access it via Excel/Access. The database contains Linked Lists. The database open, but crashes when reading tables.

I have a BigQuery instance and I have shared a view with a service account. This service account has the "bigQuery.User" role. I setup Simba ODBC drivers on my Ubuntu machine, installed Libreoffice base on it and also modified the odbc.ini file to use the above service account. I'm able to connect to Bigquery but when I try to query the shared view, it throws an error saying that "user does not have BigQuery.tables.create permission for table ...". Looks like LibreOfficeBase Base is trying to create some temp tables. Tried with MS Excel and same error is thrown
My questions:
Isn't the "bigQuery.User" role enough to query data from shared datasets/tables?
Why does Libre Office Base require such extra permissions?
What I tried:
I shared the data with a user account(someuser#gmail.com). I gave the same role i.e. bigQuery.user to this account. I was able to query data successfully from this account.
I also tried on Tableau. Tableau has native support for Bigqyuery and also supports ODBC connections(to connect BigQuery, MySql, etc). I tried with both i.e. connecting to Bigquery using Tableau native BigQuery support and using ODBC connection. It worked with native BigQuery but not with ODBC connection(maybe it has the same issue as LibreOffice base and MS Excel)
I have an Azure database (using SQL Database), and also a separate device that measures floats (not relevant to the question).
As and when the data is being updated, say once every 5 minutes, I wish to update the database so that a new row is being formed with this data. I then intend to connect to PowerBI using the Azure database to form graphs etc.
As mentioned in the title, what would be the best practice? I have done my due diligence and it seems that the best way would just be to update the Azure database. Or should I consider updating a CSV file, then connect the CSV file to the Azure database and update it from there?
Reason why I'm considering to go the CSV file route is because I see that Excel has in-built refresh function, but I couldn't find anything from the Azure side.

If you want to use Excel, you can see this Azure official document: Connect Excel to a single database in Azure SQL database and create a report.
Connect Excel to a single database in Azure SQL Database and import data and create tables and charts based on values in the database. In this tutorial you will set up the connection between Excel and a database table, save the file that stores data and the connection information for Excel, and then create a pivot chart from the database values.
Then, you can use the "Refresh Data" and try the tutorial you have found.
Hope this helps.
i have excel reports accessing analysis database. they are uploaded to sharepoint.
After upload they dont work anymore.
secure store credentials for analysis database have been created. connection string in excel is the same as in the other working reports that where already there.
user for the reports is the sharepoint service account.
user has full access to tfs, sharepoint, tfs database server and analysis server
when refreshing the report on my pc trough sharepoint web portal, the graphs get empty. refreshing it on other PC's in the network, the error comes up.
any ideas?
Apparently the cause for the error message was different date/time formats in the excel file and the server.
The file has TT.MM.JJ Germnan format, the server expects english format.
I know you have to switch to Excel Online in Office Online Server Preview, but I’ve also read that these features are deprecated:
Trusted data providers
Trusted data connection libraries
Unattended service account
Here is what I use Excel Services for:
Connecting to a multidimensional/MDX Cube (NO TABULAR model is ever used)
Connecting to different data sources
Using the Excel workbooks themselves as data sources for SharePoint web parts AND dashboards (PerformancePoint Services)
Excel Web Access Web Part; and again, the Excel sheet connects to a cube, accepts parameters, and it is itself a data source for other artifacts. Part or all of the workbooks are used in PerformancePoint, webparts and report parts.

I have an existing Access database. This has grown in importance within the company and now others need access for data entry and running existing reports and queries.
I have a site on Office 365: E3. I have attempted to use the "Move Data" to "SharePoint", but this creates errors and queries do not function.
Uncertain how to proceed. I am relatively new to Access and extremely new to SharePoint.
