Creating a live connection into PowerBI Desktop
Hi, mnewm98
Ensure the dataset you're trying to connect to supports live connections. As mentioned, live connections are supported with datasets in the Power BI service, Azure Analysis Services, and SQL Server Analysis Services.
Make sure you have the necessary permissions to access the dataset. You may need to contact your Power BI administrator to ensure you have been granted access.
If you're connecting to an on-premises SSAS instance, ensure that an on-premises data gateway is properly configured and that you have access to it. For more information on gateways, please see:
