@Anonymous,

Firstly, please ensure that the Redshift server is using port 5439. If you have a firewall between your client and server, make sure that the firewall accepts inbound connections over the port that you configured for your cluster.

Secondly, please check if you can connect to Amazon Redshift from other clients using same port.

Thirdly, in the Server field of Amazon Redshift connector in Power BI Desktop, please specify a port in the following format: ServerURL: Port.

Regards,
Lydia

Is there not a way to change the port?  (obvious newb here with Redshift)

Mine has 5432 as the port.
