    Thanks, that thread didn't help for our situation but the lack of Proxy awareness is a massive issue.

        It didn't work for me, but perhaps i've done something wrong.  This is the steps i took:

         

        1. Created a new empty file called Microsoft.Mashup.Container.exe.config
        2. Using Notepad++ i've copied in the code from your link into this config file and saved
        3. I've coped this config file into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\bin
        4. I've loaded up Power BI and opened a project file whose connections are to a database in Azure
        5. I have gone into Edit Queries to test the connection, recieving the usual error.  (This file works on my Azure VM)
