Dataverse

‎05-09-2024 04:52 PM

Today I was trying to get data from Dataverse and received the error messgae below. Could anyone help me understand what the issue is and how I can resolve it?

 

DataSource.Error: Microsoft SQL: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

 

Thanks,

Rui

Hi, @ruidi1126 

To use the Dataverse connector in Power BI, you need to enable the TDS endpoint or you'll get the error. You can check the following documentations:

Create a Power BI report using the Dataverse connector - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

 

Manage feature settings - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn
