@deepuaits Might be obscure, but check this issue: Solved: Re: Failed to open the MSOLAP connection. - PowerB... - Microsoft Fabric Community

 

Additional possibilities:

  • Check Permissions: Ensure that the service principal or user account has the necessary permissions to access the XMLA endpoint of the dataset.
  • Correct Authentication Path: Verify that the correct authentication path is being used to access the dataset.
  • Service Principal Settings: If using a service principal, ensure that it has service principal access enabled at both the tenant and workspace levels.
  • Move to Supported Workspace: If the dataset is in a PPU workspace, consider moving it to a Premium (Fabric) capacity workspace or using a user account token instead of the service principal.
