Connecting to a SQL server instance from PBI desktop with out having SQL server installed on the pc
Thank you for your reply sergej_og
However, it is not the case for us because all servers are local and we don't have any instance of SQL in cloud!
On the other hand the DB admin confirms that they added this user on the "allowed" list to access all the DBs under this instance of local SQL Database, but as I mentioned the error yet persists!
can you please suggest more solutions other than what we tried as per my above message?
Hi Anonymous,
I guess mentioned SQL Server is cloud-hosted.
If yes, one approach is to add IPs which are allowed to connect to SQL Server.
Server admin should configure the internal firewall for these IPs. This should enable remote connections.
Maybe you can provide more information.
Regards
