Problems to connect with local SQL Server

‎09-23-2022 09:24 AM

Hello community,

 

I can not connect with a local SQL Server in Power BI Service.

 

The gateway responds with this error message:

 

The data source cannot be created.
Invalid connection credentials.

 

I want to use a SQL Server login, not a Windows login.

 

Connecting on SSMS with the SQL Server login works fine, but in Power BI Service it doesn't.

 

PS: It works with Windows Login, but I don't want to use that.

 

Any ideas?

needs more details.  Are you using IP or localhost?  standard port?  default instance?
