Hi v-qiuyu-msft

 

Our administrator upgraded PowerBi Server into Version 1.1.6582.41691 (October 2017)

But when I open the 'data sources' section for my report, it still looks the same and I get this error message again when I perform the ' test connection' :

Couldn't connect

The report server couldn't connect to the data source using the information you entered. Make sure you've entered the connection string and any credentials correctly.

 

The connection string still contain the main string without the headers...

 

Are you sure the headers are incalculated in your example? Or do I oversee something before this can work?

 

regards

Muki

Hi Muki,

 

I have the same error :

 

The report server couldn't connect to the data source using the information you entered. Make sure you've entered the connection string and any credentials correctly.

 

With PowerBi Server Version 1.1.6514.9163 (October 2017)

 

Did you find solution for that ?

 

Thanks.

 

Regards,

Tariq

    Unfortunately Tariq, I don't have a solution yet for this issue as v-qiuyu-msft didn't react yet.

    I'm even not sure whether this functionality is uberhaupt supported by Power BI...

     

    Our admin is trying to install a gateway to our Power Bi Server account. We'll see whether that will resolve our issue.

      Has anyone gotten this working yet?

       

      I've got the same issue, with the latest (as of last month, July) code which I downloaded from Microsoft's site and installed.

       

      URL string doesn't have any authentication key info in it, no way to insert it, and it won't connect.  Works fine in Power BI Desktop.
