Hi sergioimperador 

 

I'm not sure why this error you are getting. Please try to follow the below steps if you haven't done.

  1. Very the server name and database name from where you are connecting.
  2. Run the Power BI desktop with Admisnitrator 
  3. Make sure that you have recent version of Power BI desktop. If not update the PBI desktop.
  4. Check the preview features. Such as disbale unnecessary preview features.
  5. Check with Power BI communty here - We couldn't connect to your DirectQuery data sourc... - Microsoft Fabric Community

Thanks. Let me know if it works.
