    Hey there!

     

    The error suggests that the hostname (omi_svr_apis) is not resolving to an IP address. Try flushing the DNS cache on the affected user’s computer:

    1. Open Command Prompt (Run as Administrator).
    2. Type:
      ipconfig /flushdns
    3. Restart Power BI and try again.

     

    Hope this helps!

    😁😁

    Sound like networking issue, the API might be blocked by a local firewall proxy etc
