Hi I'm trying to refresh the data in power bi but whenever I try to do so I get the following error:
Microsoft SQL: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
Please let me know what to do to get rid of this error

you are not able to connect to the sql server database that is used to import data for your Power BI model.. The database may be down, the network may be down, or you VPN connection is not working. So it is either network connectivity or the database being down.
you should call your IT and log a ticket
