Connection error- SSAS Tabular server(on premise) - Power BI desktop(on my laptop)

Hi all,

 

I have downloaded Power BI Desktop (July version) on my laptop  and trying to connect to SSAS tabular Server(on-premise ). But I am getting following error. However, I am able to access SQl server database(on- premise) using my credentials

 

DataSource.Error: AnalysisServices: A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.

 

Can anyone please advice about this, as it is urgent.

 

Thanks

Mazhar.

    As the error mentioned, your SSAS server is not started. It's not related to SQL Server Datebase Engine. You may try to connect your tabular in SSMS. It supposes to throw same error message. Please verify if the SSAS service is started.
