Hi,
I am using SQL Server Express 2022 version. When I try to connect my SQL Database with Power Query, it shows me this error.
Details: "Microsoft SQL: A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.)"
Can anyone please advise how to fix this error?
