I was trying to connect SQL server, called it server A and server B. I can connect both servers on other apps, and I have no problems to get databases. On Power BI, I can only connect to server A. On server B, it shows --- Details: "Microsoft SQL: Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgment. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=18201; handshake=14361; " There are something I tried but nothing work: use IP address instead of server name setup "command timeout in minutes" to 2, 10, 100, 100000 write a custom SQL statement in “SQL statement” turn off firewall open port 1433

PowerBI currently times out connections in less than 15seconds. Please increase this timeout to 30 seconds, or use the property provided in the ODBC connection string!
