in viewing unable to connect to the datasource

Hello,

 

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/unable-to-connect-to-the-datasource/idi-p/1954204

 

My reports that pull data from SQL no longer work. All sql linked reports have this problem. There is no problem only in excel data source reports.

 

Data Source Settings appear to be working correctly.

Hi @v-yingjl 
We have been using power bi reports in our company for 2 years and we do not have any problems.
In the message you shared, he wrote solved the problem with incoming instructions coming from Microsoft.
How will I solve it? Our reporting part is broken in our company, can you please give me real and quickly help?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Have you set the same gateway for each combined data source? 

 

Or you can try this simliar workaround:

Set the server certificate to blank, then back to the original value; saved the settings, then restarted the SQL Server windows service.

 

Here is the simliar issue: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Unable-to-connect-to-the-data-source-undefined/m-p/753020
