Hi @SriThiru 

You can connect to an XMLA endpoint for a Dataset, if that Dataset is stored on a "Premium Capacity" or "Premium Per User" workspace. In this case it's possible that the workspace with the Dataset you're trying to connect to is not one of those.

See : Dataset connectivity and management with the XMLA endpoint in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Hope this helps
