Persistent Error When Connecting to Azure Data Sources in Microsoft Fabric

[hibablh]

Hello Fabric Community,

I’ve been facing the same blocking issue for more than 3 months when trying to connect to Azure data sources in Microsoft Fabric.

Each time I go to "Azure > Get Data", I get the following error:
"An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later. (Session ID: a2c0a402-aa4d-41d7-9ae9-07f74b6fd269, Region: Europe)"

I’ve tried across different environments, accounts, and times — the error persists.

This is preventing me from accessing critical data for my work.

Please find the screenshot attached. I would really appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Hi hibablh,

We sincerely appreciate your inquiry on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

Based on my understanding of the error message, the issue may arise due to regional restrictions, administrative settings, or insufficient Azure permissions.

Kindly follow the steps outlined below, which may help resolve the issue:

1. Verify that your Azure services are supported in your Europe region.
2. Confirm that the options “Allow users to connect to Azure data services” and “Users can use enhanced data sources” are enabled by your Fabric administrator.
3. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned (for example, Storage Blob Data Reader, DB Reader) on the relevant Azure resources.
4. Occasionally, cached sessions cause errors. Please try accessing the system using a private or incognito browsing mode.
5. Confirm that Microsoft Fabric is active within your Azure environment.

As an alternative workaround, you may use Power BI Desktop to connect to Azure, then publish the dataset to a Fabric workspace for use within Lakehouse/Warehouse.

If you find our response helpful, kindly mark it as the accepted solution and provide kudos. This will assist other community members encountering similar issues.
