Teradata & Get And Transform
I am looking to use the Get & Transform feature within excel to link into a Teradata database and then directly write queries against that. When I go to link to the server, I keep getting the following error message saying more software is needed to link to the server. I have installed the latest .NET framework that aligns with my system directly from Teradata & yet keep getting this error. Is there specific additional software that is needed?
I am using Windows 10 on an Office 2016 64 bit system.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave,
I didn't work with Teradata, but this support page https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Connect-to-a-Teradata-database-Power-Query-ddd537df-0c2c-49f2-92a0-bc66888ed65b?ui=en-US&rs=en-001&ad=US says
Note: Before you can connect to a Teradata database, you need the .NET Data Provider for Teradata on your computer.
Is it installed?
It has been installed, hence my concern about needing additional software beyond the .NET driver. The article provided only states the need for the .NET application for the process to work correctly.
I've also installed the current ODBC drivers in the off chance that was needed as well, and am still getting the same error prompt.
