Elgonz,

Firstly, what account do you connect to the SQL Database in PBIX file and in SSMS? Please enter same account and credential when adding SQL data source within gateway.

Secondly, are you able to connect to the SQL Server database from the SSMS which is installed in the same machine as your gateway?

Lydia

Thank you.

 

No. I have downloaded SSMS and it will let me see the database, but it says i don't have credentials.  As mentioned, I'm the admin on the computer (and for the company)...  can i change these credentials?

    Elgonz,

    Do you mean that you are not able to connect to the database in SSMS as you don't have credentials? If so, you would need to ask for the admin of the SQL Server instance to create a login for you in the instance.
