SQL Server Get Data fails... cannot fathom why
Trying to show this tool to mgmt, getting very frustrated as the most basic operations do not succeed. Very simply, I wanted to connect to an SQL Server instance running on the same machine Power BI...
randyvolters I haven't faced any such issues when working with Power BI Desktop tool using SQL Server as a database.
You can try creating a new SQL Login and first try using it in SSMS and then in Desktop tool although Windows Authentication should work like a charm :)
