Error message when refreshing the data in power bi desktop
- 1 year ago
Jai-Rathinavel & Anonymous thank you so much for your suggestions - i have now sorted the issue. For some reason it wasn't allowing the standard database connection i was previously using, so i set up a new SQL user that i could use for the database connection and it worked! Thanks so much for your help!

OR follow below steps:
Update Power BI Desktop: Ensure you have the latest version of Power BI Desktop installed. Sometimes, simply updating the software can resolve connectivity issues1.
Check the Trusted Root Certificate: Verify that the certificate used by SQL Server is in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store on the machine running the Data Management Gateway. You can use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to do this2.
Switch Connection Type: Try switching the connection type from your Microsoft account to Windows authentication. This has helped others overcome similar SSL-related errors1.
Import the SSL Certificate:
- Export the certificate from the server where SQL Server is installed.
- Import the certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store on the client machine where Power BI Desktop is installed1.
Environment Variable: Add the environment variable PBI_SQL_TRUSTED_SERVERS with the problem server name. This can sometimes resolve the issue1.
Uncheck Encrypt Connection: Go to Home Tab -> Transform Data -> Data Source Connections, then edit permissions and uncheck "Encrypt connection"3.
