Hi Team,
I'm connecting the dataset from PowerBI services to PowerBI desktop application, and then converting the dataset to Direct query mode to import multiple datasets.When converting to direct query i'm getting the below error.
Hi @Murali777 ,
Refer to:Troubleshoot XMLA endpoint connectivity in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
When connecting to a Power BI workspace with SSMS, ensure the following:
- The XMLA endpoint setting is enabled for your tenant's capacity. To learn more, see Enable XMLA read-write.
- The Allow XMLA endpoints and Analyze in Excel with on-premises datasets setting is enabled in Tenant settings.
- You're using the latest version of SSMS. Download the latest.
