Unable to change the source of a report to AAS.

Hi, Currently the my data source is SQL server analysis service database(live connect) and I want to change it to AAS but I am unable to do it. I am getting an error while changing the data source and it says " we couldn't connect to the analysis service server because the connection timed out or the server name is incorrect". where as If I am trying to change the source from the server itself I am able to change it successfully.Could someone please help me with if any there is any port issue or any firewall settings that need to be taken care of.

@RashmitaR,

 

Can you connect to your Azure Analysis Services data base in a new report? Please refer to the link below to check how to connect to AAS in Power BI desktop.
