Hello all:
I am getting an error trying to connect to an Azure SQL Database from Power BI desktop. I set up the firewall rule in Azure, and I know my credentials are correct, but no joy. Can anyone suggest some troubleshooting steps?
Thanks in advnace!
John.

HI @JohnStraumann ,
From your screenshot, it looks like you are entering credentials under WINDOWS section.
I think you need to add credentials to DATABASE section.
Thanks,

Hi @JohnStraumann ,
Please ensure that your user id is provided access on the database level.
Also, for a detailed login error you can try accessing the desired database and table from Sql Server Management Studio.
It might give you the detailed error.
