Hi,
Just downloaded and installed Desktop PowerBI today.
After registering with PowerBI and starting the app, i tried to connect to an azure sql database i have, and it fails with the message
We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided. Please try again.
I am able to connect with no problems from the same PC using SQL management studio perfectly well... So i can't figure out why PowerBi won't connect.
I assume when configuring the Azure SQL (there are three 'tabs' amd I am on the first tab titled Windows) that i am meant to be entering the SQL Login details here...
Very confused!!!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Never mind.. I figured it out.. rather confusing but the default page that asks for credentails is not where you enter your sql login details... its the middle tab...
