Unable get data from SQL Server in Power BI Desktop
Hi,
I am trying to get data from MS SQL Server into Power BI Desktop. I am trying with local instance of SQL Server. I am connecting to local instance using Windows credential. The server is getting connected but it's not showing any database or table under that server. When I login with same credentials into MS SQL Server, I am able to access all databases and tables.
Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks,
Rahul Naik

hi, rahulnaik126
If you get data from sql server by this document:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/pull-data-from-sql-server-with-power-bi-designer/
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-gateway-sql-tutorial
And if you have changed the display options as below:
And also please check that if your account has view definition permission on the table in SQL Server. Go to Files>Options and settings>Data source settings, select Global permissions, delete any existing SQL Server data sources and then connnect to your SQL Server from Power BI Desktop.Best Regards,

Hi v-lili6-msft ,
Thanks for the response, but I am still facing same issue. I am logging using Windows credentials and database, both the user have View Definition permission.
When I am trying to connect using windows credentails, the server get connected but it's not showing any databases or table under it. And When I am trying to connect using database credentials, it is giving me below error:
"We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided. Please try again."
Due to Security policy I can't attach screenshot here. Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks,
