Error when try to connect to datamart to SQL server database

Hi,   I get this error when I try to sign in to my organization account and connect to our SQL server. Am I doing something wrong or is it a temporary error?

Hi, KasperJ90 

Would a similar error occur when creating a dataflow ?
Please recheck your server name and database name and make sure there are no extra characters or any erroneous space in the path.

You can also try use "Basic" authentication to replace 'Organizational'.

    I can connect to the SQL server via Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and Power BI desktop. Why is it not working? I need to create the data mart so I have to do it via the webbrowser.

      Hi, KasperJ90 

      I can create a datamart normally on my side to access the data source of sql server (The authentication method used by the gateway I added is ’windows‘).

      If you are sure your credentials are correct, please turn off the firewall and try again.

        Hi v-easonf-msft 

         

        Thanks - but why do I need a gateway? I can connect via powerbi desktop and MSSMS without an gateway with "Microsoft authorization"

      Were you able to figure out why you were getting that error?
      I am having the same issue now when I used the datamart in order to connect to the SQL database it throws an error. 
      Please provide me some information if you have figured it out.

      Thank you

        Hi,
        I did not figure it out so I have now made a gateway to acess my data.
        This means I am not using the datamart option..

    Hi v-easonf-msft ,

     

    Thanks for your reply. I get the same error when I try to do it in a dataflow as well.

    I get the error when I press "sign in" so the server I enter should not matter. I tried both in Edge and Firefox.
    I have added a Excel file from Onedrive to my datamart that worked fine. 

    Hope you can help.
