Hi naveen_koushal,

 

Have you installed and configured data gateway on your server? Also check if you have configure the data source in "Manage Gateway" in power bi service.

Hi Jimmy,

 

Thanks for the support!

 

Could you please more elaborate why do we require data gateway?. My data is already connected with azure sql database. And the error that comes is related to 'ODBC connection failed'.

 

Appreciate if you elaborate the possible solution.

 

Regards,

Naveen

    I don't believe you'll be able to setup and use an ODBC connection in Power BI Service. 

     

    The gateway is required in general for an R script in Power Query, but it sounds like you have this RODBC connection setup on an R Visual. That wouldn't need a gateway, but again, I don't believe you'll be able to configure ODBC since you don't have access to configure anything in the Service.

      Thanks Delsdersveld. I thinkg I should test running the dashboard after installing Gateway. I will get back to you with my findings.

        Hi Delsdersveld,

         

        When I go to gateway connection tab it says " You don't need gateway for this dataset, because all of its data sources is in the cloud".

         

        What do you suggest? Do I still download gateway? I am not sure if it work.

         

        Regards,

        Naveen

      Hi Jimmy,

       

      Is there any work around for this that is passing slicer values as parameters into SQL query avoiding using RODBC? I am currently facing the same issue where I need to pass values from a few different slicers e.g. group by factors, filter factors and filter values. These are must-have functionality for my deliverables and they work perfectly in powerBI desktop when using RODBC but not working at all while publishing it to powerBI service.

       

      Any comments or work arounds are appreciated.

       

      Best regards,

      Kevin Zheng
