Hi @Anonymous ,

 

As you mentioned in SSMS, you can connect to the Azure SQL fine. In Power BI desktop, do you use the same credential to get data? 

 

Please go to the Data Source Settings, find the connection which points to this Azure SQL server, then clear it's credential. Then get data from the Azure SQL, enter the same name as you used in SSMS.
