Unable to connect to web server data source

AndresPesca · ‎08-16-2022

Hi Community,

I’m trying to connect to this web server "cubos3.sispro.gov.co" through Power BI. I can succesfully connect from excel through a "Analysis Services" connector, how ever when I try to connect from Power BI Desktop I get this error "DataSource.Error: AnalysisServices: A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running."

Am I doing something wrong? How can I repplicate excel connection to Power BI?

Best Regards,

Hi @Anonymous,

Thanks for your reply,

I’ll show the connection process for Excel where the procces is succesfull. As I told you I use the "Analysis Service" connector from excel. That pop up the wizard shown in the picture.

Once I provide the server name, user and password the following windows pop-up. Then I choose the first table that contain the data I need.

After I press finish and then, the connection brings me all the information I need to work with. And let me use it on a Dynamic Table.

I need to replicate this process from Power BI Desktop in order to edit the data from there, however when I try to connect with the same connector, I get the error showed in my first post.

Appreciate your help.
