Help with Connectivity - Power Bi (Service) connecting to a SQL database using ODBC over SSL

Hi,
We have an accounting application that is running on top of MS SQL , hosted on a MS Azure cloud.

We are trying to build a power BI dashboard that will access directly the Database records via ODBC over SSL.

Our developer is at a standstill connecting the two / accessing the database that is hosted on the Azure cloud 

Thank you in advance
