Can't connect to a tabular instance using the Powerbi Gateway

Hello,

We have a PowerBI gateway and that one connects happy to our on premise SSAS server with dimensional models.
However we can't connect to the tabular instance that is running on the same server. This is the error we got :


Can not connect: An error occurred during the connection attempt with ssasserver\tabular. Details: Hide details

Any ideas ?

Hi @enders,

 

First, this error could occur for different reasons. And a lot of issues can surface when the gateway version is out of date. It is a good general practice to make sure you are on the latest version. If you haven't updated the gateway for a month, or longer, you may want to consider installing the latest version of the gateway and see if you can reproduce the issue.

 

Then try following this article to troubleshot this issue. If the issue persists, I would suggest you create a support ticket on Power BI Support page for better assistance. Smiley Happy

 

Regards
