I would like to connect to an on premise sql server from Power BI Desktop. So, I did the following steps:
Open Power BI Desktop
Click Get Data icon.
Select Database > SQL Server database
Type Server name and Database name
Got this error message below:
I would like to have an encrypted connection here. So why does the message occur? How do I fix it?

I have SSMS installed on my laptop along with a localdb I created:
I am trying to create a connection with my localdb (in Power BI Service) and my local SQL db via my gateway but I keep getting an error. Here is a screenshot:
I am uploading a report from Power BI Report Builder. I am able to connect using the same credentials on Power BI Report Builder. However, when I enter the credentials on Power BI Service I get an error. Does anyone know why I am getting this error?
Try to install and use the normal SQL Server instead of LocalDB. When connecting to LocalDB, the necessary SQL Server infrastructure is automatically created and started, but I'm not sure that the Power BI Gateway supports that.
I am working on power bi desktop for visualizations. I have SQL server dataset which is on my local machine. I have connected the Data using import connection mode of power bi and loaded the data set into my power bi desktop. I have installed gateway to make connection of my on premises dataset to the power bi service. I have successfully made the connection as well. But when I come to publish my reports It never gets published (taking ages to publish) and just keeps loading for hours that will get published but they never get published.
When I connect the dataset using Query mode connection the reports get published but I cannot further create calculated tables and play with measures and columns effectively.
While in Import connection mode I can do everything except publishing my reports.
Good morning,
I am working with PowerBI premium and I am looking to connect a datasets existing in a premium workspace.
I need to connect to SQL Server Analysis services using the following connection string:
powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/workspacename;initial catalog=report_name
It works when connecting from PowerBI desktop but I am unable to connect to the datasets when I publish my report in the same workspace as the datasets.
The purpose of using SQL Server Analysis service instead of "Connect to PowerBI Datasets" is that I can work locally.
2 files:
1 datasets (Model)
1 report connected through "localhost:PortNumber"
When ready I can publish my datasets, then change datasets connection string in my report file and finally I can publish the report online for consumption.
Would someone know how I can do that without having an error after publishing the report online?
I'm relatively new to Power bi and my problem is:
I was able to connect and refresh the data connection as anonymous from a Web connection in Power Bi Desktop.
However when I am trying to schedule the refresh to the same report on Power BI Server (after publishing it), it is returning me the following error.
Why is that? How can I fix it?
I've created a report in the "Power BI Desktop optimized for Power BI Report Server (October 2017)" app and want to deploy it directly to local Power BI Report Server instance but can't find a way to do that.
I found a page on Microsoft Docs called "Quickstart: Create a Power BI report for Power BI Report Server" and there is a Step 2.4 called "Power BI Report Server Selection" (below) that is a part of the Get Data wizard which I do not have in my case.
In my case I have Get Data -> Analysis Services -> "SQL Server Analysis Server database" window -> "Navigator" window -> Ok and that's all
Finally I had to just save .pbix file locally and upload it manually to Power BI Report Server.
To save powerbi file directly to report server follow this steps:
Power BI desktop report> file> save as> Power BI report server> provide your report server portal url> Provide your file name> click ok to sve it directly on report server
