Azure SQL Managed Instance with Power BI
- Anonymous6 years ago
amitchandak Thank you.
I was worried because Managed is not exactly cloud but our SQL Server on-prem DB managed on Azure Cloud via virtual network. The virtual network part got me questioning if the refreshes will work the same way as on cloud.
Thanks,
HV
Refer :https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/refresh-data#accessing-cloud-data-sources
"Datasets that use cloud data sources, such as Azure SQL DB, don't require a data gateway if Power BI can establish a direct network connection to the source. Accordingly, you can manage the configuration of these data sources by using the Data source credentials section in the dataset settings. As the following screenshot shows, you don't need to configure a gateway connection."

Has anyone actually gotten PowerBI DirectQuery to work with Azure Managed Instance? We recently had to upgrade from SQL DB to managed instance, and we cannot get our PowerBI DirectQuery to connect like it used to. Wondering if there are extra firewall / security rules we need to circumvent now that it's managed instance?

HI JWHND ,
Sorry to bump an old post, but I'm having the exact same issue. Works fine in Desktop, but once published to Power BI Online the data credentials are incorrect and the dataset cannot refresh. Have you been able to solve this?
