    HI lkakarla2020,

    Power bi does not support using the 'service principal' as the data credentials.
    Please use a web connector or other data drivers to get data from your data source with correspond token string as an additional parameter to send from your connector to verify the data source connection.

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Is there any example of using REST API to get data from Azure SQL? From what I can find there were previous efforts to expose data to Azure SQL using ODATA, but those efforts are no longer being pursued?
