Can't connect to Azure SQL database using Power BI dataflow

Hi, I have tried all the solution in this link (Solved: Connecting to Azure SQL Database via Dataflows - a... - Microsoft Fabric Community) and still can't connect to my Azure SQL database using Power BI dataflow. The error message is : "Connection could not be created. This may mean it is not accessible from this network or at this URI, or that a gateway is required to access this data source" . btw, the Azure Services are enabled on the Azure SQL Server

 

I am able to conntect to the mentioned  Azure SQL database  from Power BI desktop and publish the report to the PBI service, and refresh the dataset there. 

 

Thanks

Read about VNet gateways.  You may need one of these.
