My company just implemented Power Bi so it's possible I'm missing something obvious. I was able to load data in through SQL Server queries last week but have been hit this week with this error message:
Unable to connect
We encountered an error while trying to connect.
Details: "Loading assembly file 'System.EnterpriseServices, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' failed for data source type 'SQL'"
The weird thing is I started getting this error on Monday or Tuesday. Wednesday morning I was able to load in data but then Wednesday afternoon through to today(Friday) I just get the error again. The other 2 people in my office with access to Power Bi do not get this error. I have tried repairing my .NET Frameworks, I have updated Power Bi and I have upped the values under Parallel loading of tables to just under the recommended threshold.
I'm happy to provide more details if this post is a bit vague. I appreciate any and all help!
