    Hi avk,

     

    As described in this document, to connect to database instance from Power BI service, only Databases in the Cloud and Databases on-premises (SQL Server Analysis Service) are supporte. For other types of databases in your organization, you’ll need to first use Power BI Desktop or Excel to connect to, query, and load data into a data model.

     

    Maybe you could submit this feature request at Power BI Ideas page. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products.

     

    Best regards,
    Yuliana Gu

I have tried connecting to SQL Server on the EC2 instance using Power BI desktop and was succesful in doing that, however I want to know if there are any ways to connect to the SQL Server on the instance using Power BI Service. I've been looking around for some answers but could not find anything appropriate. Any help or suggestions will be of great help.

 

Thanks
