Problem when public mi report

Hi,  I was playing with PowerBI desktop and I made my graphs connected to a DB that I have in Azure with DirectQuery, I save it and publish it to be able to see it in my work area of ​​powerBI web, but I don't see them upload the graphics. I get the following message.

My Azure database has a firewall that blocks the ips, I don't know if it will be that, because a message would appear that x ip does not have access.

 

Thanks

Hi @fmunita ,

 

I think the firewall will block the connection between Azure and Power BI.

Notes:

  • Specify the fully qualified server name when connecting (see below for more details).
  • Ensure firewall rules for the database are configured to "Allow access to Azure services."
  • Every action such as selecting a column or adding a filter will send a query back to the database.
  • Tiles are refreshed every hour (refresh does not need to be scheduled). You can adjust how often to refresh in the Advanced settings when you connect.
  • Schema changes are not picked up automatically.

For reference: 

Azure SQL Database with DirectQuery
