Just checked the data flows again in power bi services., there was an issue at gateway setting, that why I faced this issue. Cleared myself now the data base connections are working fine.

 

able to connect and it works after correcting the gateway settings.

 

Thanks for your support.

    I'm curious too. We have probelms settign up SQL connections via dataflow that don't occur wiht a desktop connection. I'd like to know if the issue is gateway related, and if so, what the fix might be in that instance. Thanks in advance.
