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...
Hi randyvolters,
Adding to other posts, make sure you launch Power BI desktop with admin privileges, go to “File –> Options and Settings –> Options –> Data Load” to clear cache , then check if you can connect to SQL Server. If the issue persists, please uninstall Power BI Desktop and reinstall it, then connect to SQL from it.
Thanks,
