Dax Studio - can't connect to anything (Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation)

‎08-04-2020 05:52 AM

Hello,

I have just installed DaxStudio 2.12.1 for the first time. When I click the connect button, I consistently get the error: Dax Studio - can't connect to anything (Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation). Could anyone possibly shed some light on how I get Dax Studio to work (using PowerBi July 2020 version).

Thanks in advance,
Michelle

Not to worry, I uninstalled https://www.sqlbi.com/tools/power-pivot-utilities/ and it works fine now.
