    Hi Dale,

     

    I raised a Microsoft ticket regarding this issue. Their solution was this is not possible unless my windows user(AD user) has the access to the database. Since my AD user doesn't have access to the database i had to switch all my reports in to import mode. Direct query was not possible for my case.
