PowerQuery Firewall Error
- 1 year ago
Sorry to hear that! Do you mind posting a screenshot of your error?
Also, a few things to consider:
1. There's a firewall setting within Azure. Make sure that you have your IP whitelisted from there.
2. If your queries are complex and have multiple references or buffers, try to fold everything back into the SQL database.
3. Try changing your privacy settings. Check both Global and Report level settings and set them both to "ignore privacy levels"
4. And, lastly, Power BI does not like dynamic parameters. If you are calling an API, try to call it a different way to make it more "static"
hope that at least helps you a bit!

Go through Ben Gribaudo's Primer. Go through this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/data-privacy-firewall
Use single partitions. Avoid merges. Hide dynamic queries as hnguy71 suggested.
Your solution is so great hnguy71 and lbendlin
Hi, WishAskedSooner
If you're having firewall issues connecting to Azure SQL Server, you need to configure Azure's firewall so that you can access it from your computer or IP. To do this, I've found several articles that focus on how to connect to Azure in Power BI, which covers Azure's firewall configuration:
