Hi,
When I open a report based on my SSAS tab, I get "This report could not access its data source. please contact <Developer>, the author, to have it fixed"
I have a Windows Server with :
- SQL Server and SSAS Instance
- PowerBI Gateway service running with local admin
- Local user who have access to SQL Database and SSAS (MACHINE NAME \ User Name) with administrator right on windows machine, SQL Server and SSAS - I don't have Active Directory
- Opened port for SSAS
I could connect to SSAS with Excel using the Ip address and local user account.
The PBI gateway status is Ok on this server.
On PowerBi Service :
- I have an Power Bi Pro account with a mail/domain not related to Microsoft or my server (remember => which use local user)
- Gateway is online
- I have add a datasource related to my SSAS tabular on my server with local machine credentials -> connection is ok and automatic refresh is done each hour with success
I can't connect to SSAS with PowerBI Desktop
I can't connect to SSAS with PowerBI Service (create a report using this dataset or refresh an existing report)
When I look into Events Viewer for my SSAS connection, I have :
Account For Which Logon Failed:
Security ID: NULL SID
Account Name:
Account Domain:
It seems that SSAS can't retrieve any user ...
I've found this : Manage your data source - Analysis Services - Power BI | Microsoft Docs but in this case, there is an AD (and me not)
I can't use import because lots of data ... I need direct query.
Thank you for help !
Hi @EDDD ,
Have you mapped the username for the Analysis Services data source? Power BI service sign-in names don't always match your local directory UPN, so we need to manually map Power BI service sign-in names to usernames with permissions for Analysis Services data sources. Please refer to Map user names for Analysis Services data sources in the documentation.
Manage your data source - Analysis Services - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
Other answers that may be helpful.
