So there was a database that another user edited in SQL Server Management STudio to import data from into PowerBI
The PowerBI file was sent to me but I cannot access it because I don't have permissions to his SQL Server.
Does anyone know how to get rid of these security settings so I can access the data?
I tried changing the data source in the advanced query editor but I get an error
Solved! Go to Solution.
I entered the wrong server name as defined in management studio.
