Quick Answer: How to Connect Tally Prime to Power BI via ODBC Port 9000?
TrulyInvoice leverages Tally Prime's local Port 9000 connectivity to sync AI-parsed purchase invoices into Tally. Similarly, Tally Prime can act as an ODBC Server on Port 9000, enabling Microsoft Power BI to query live collections (Ledger, Voucher, StockItem) and render real-time executive financial dashboards.
- Enable Tally ODBC: F1 (Help) > Settings > Connectivity > Enable ODBC = Yes (Port 9000).
- Windows DSN: Create 64-bit System DSN named TallyODBC (Host: localhost, Port: 9000).
- Power BI: Get Data > ODBC > Select TallyODBC > Load Ledger/Voucher collections.
- TrulyInvoice uses the same Port 9000 gateway to auto-post F9 purchase vouchers in 15s.
