    Hi patrickhofman,

    Based on your description, you specify ADO.NET provider as data source in Power BI Desktop, right? If that is the case, could you please post a screenshot about that how you connect to the ADO.NET data source from Power BI Desktop?  In this official article, I haven’t found that  ADO.NET provider is included in the supported data source list.

    In addition, you can go to File -> Options and settings -> Options -> Diagnostics and click "enable tracing", then connect to your data source and check the detailed logs in the traces folder.

    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang
