    Hi DAT_Research,

     

    I got the information internally which said the trending issue "When we click Get Data > All or some of the data source dialog might not appear or clicking a source such as SSAS or SQL may hang Power BI Desktop. And we have to use the task manager to kill the process/app." already fixed in the latest Power BI desktop version.

     

    In your scenario, which version of Power BI desktop do you run? Please update it to the version 2.37.4464.602 to check if the issue has been solved.

     

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

DAT_Research have you tried setting up DSN and using that instead straight away using ODBC driver within power bi.

    We do have one setup already but it seems Power BI is not recognizing it.
