Power BI Report Server Error: Direct Query to SQL
Hi all, I’m uploading a Power BI report to the Power BI Report Server web portal. My report uses a DirectQuery connection to a SQL Server instance. Both the report server and the SQL Server are on-premises and on the same network. I have also set up a system environment variable and added the SQL Server name there, but I’m still getting the same error. Interestingly, the data source connection is shown as successful in the Report Server web portal, but when I try to view the report, I receive the following error: "Error fetching data for this visual A connection could not be made to the data source with the Name of '{"protocol":"tds","address":{"server":"xxx","database":"xxx"},"authentication":null,"query":null}'. Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.

Thanks in advance!Solved2.9KViews1like4Comments
