Getting Connection error while connecting SQL Server Database to power bi.
Getting this Error:
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'"
Please help me understand this error & resolve it.
Hi R_A_H_U_L ,
Thanks for lbendlin's reply!
And R_A_H_U_L , you can try this steps which may help:
Sometimes, running Power BI Desktop with administrative privileges can resolve this issue.
Ensure that the .NET Framework is properly installed and up to date. You can repair or reinstall the .NET Framework if necessary.
Make sure that the System.EnterpriseServices assembly is up to date. You can check for updates or reinstall the assembly if needed.
If you previously connected to the data source using different credentials, try clearing all connection permissions and restarting Power BI.

I might have used some different data source credential so I cleared all connection permission & started fresh. It worked! Thanks!
Have same error, are you using a gateway?
