Hi!
I am using Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.dll, v13.0.0.0 to to access a Power BI data set from C# code. Have been experimenting with various connection strings but always get exceptions...
var connectionString = @"Provider=MSOLAP.7;Integrated Security=;Identity Provider=AAD;Data Source=https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api;Initial Catalog=XXXX-XXXX-GUID;Location=https://wabi-us-north-central-redirect.analysis.windows.net/xmla?vs=sobe_wowvirtualserver&db=XXX-XXX-GUID;MDX Compatibility= 1; MDX Missing Member Mode= Error; Safety Options= 2; Update Isolation Level= 2;User ID=my@workemail.com;Password=my_pswd;";
var conn = new AdomdConnection(connectionString);
conn.Open(); //throws here
The connection string above produces error "The connection either timed out or was lost."
This string is based on the .odc file that I downloaded from Power BI, and it works fine from Excel - data is loaded into pivot table, etc. (Excel uses COM driver I guess?)
If I set Integrated Security = SSPI or Basic, the client throws another error saying that neither of them can be used with HTTP.
What is missing in my code? I am looking for a working sample of a connection string for Power BI.
Thanks!
UPDATE: There is an inner exception for the connection string above: "The remote name could not be resolved: 'analysis.windows.net'" This url is what Power BI puts into odc file when I click on ANALYSE IN EXCEL. What url should I use to connect to data from .Net code?
