Suddenly cannot access Azure SQL Database.

Hello Power BI Community!

 

I have been working with Power BI for 2-3 weeks or so.

 

Suddenly when I was doing a tutorial video on Power BI Desktop I could not use Azure SQL Database as datasource.

I have to mention I have had this working till Today.

1. I found the server name of the SQL server on Azure as usual, and added it to the server section in Power BI Desktop

2. Adding optional database name: VRT (Also tried without it)

3. Entered my Database username and password

4. When i click OK i encounter this popup dialogue:

- Funny enough, the server it says it tries to connect to is the same as the ending of my school mail: "easv365.dk". This does not make sense at all, as the server name i specified is the server on Azure that i want to connect to.

 

Im running on a clean installed Windows machine, with a fresh installation of Power BI Desktop.

 

Anyone encountered this issue as well? Any solutions yet?

I will try to reinstall Power BI Desktop, tho i think it wont be the solution.

 

Cheers!

Morten

So i figured it out..

 

SHAME on meeeee..

 

Turns out it had to be the Server Admin Login & Password.

Still quite new to the azure portal and how AD works with resources.
