Hi @Mukund1234  ,

I could see that error you are getting is related to failed connection with SQL Server.
The error, "error 25- Connection string is not valid" indicates that its  preventing the database client from establishing a valid connection to the server.
1. Check if you are using the correct string to connect.
2.Just use the instance name and do not use the HOST NAME 

Ref- error 25- Connection string is not valid

Please do check out this too -
Unable to connect to SQL DB server (error 25)

I hope this helps!

Hi @Mukund1234 

 

Because you are using a VPN, you will need to install a power BI standard gateway and then configure the connection to gateway on your gateway is where you will install the VPN to connect your database server. Unfortunately there is no other way to get this done successfully. Install an on-premises data gateway | Microsoft Learn
