I have a MySQL database that will connect with power BI web, but to access the database we need to connect to a VPN first.
How can I configure power BI web to connect to the VPN and then to the database?
Do you have any solution so that we can free external bank access without power BI web VPN, such as a fixed power bi web ip?
You can't make use of this VPN in Power BI Service. To make it possible to access your database from there, you need to install and configure Power BI Gateway on the database server. It will allow connection to your on-premises data sources from Power BI, Power Apps and similar cloud services.

I have my database in Cloud SQL (SQL Server). The public IP is disabled.
I wanted to run some select queries on this database based on which I want to create a dashboard on Data Studio.
I tried following two approaches:
Cloud SQL federated queries: Using BigQuery we can connect to Cloud
SQL, but this is limited to MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Using MS SQL Server Google Connector: But I am not able to connect to
my database since it is not public.
Is there anyway I can connect to Cloud SQL (SQL Server) with disabled public IP from BigQuery or Data Studio?
No, you can only perform BigQuery federated queries if you use:
PostgreSQL or MySQL
Have a public IP
You have none of 2.
For datastudio, it's an external tool, not attached to your project/VPC, and so, you can't access your database without a public IP.
As Suggested by Guillaume, you cannot perform federated queries unless you're querying a PostgreSQL/MySQL instance or have a public IP.
However, in your scenario you can try replicating your data from SQL Server to BigQuery using Cloud Data Fusion as per this Documentation and then perform queries in BigQuery.
I am trying to connect from my Power BI desktop to a SQL Server hosted in Azure VM.
I have a gateway in a place where the Power BI Desktop is installed and I am able to connect to the local SQL Server, but cannot connect to the SQL Server hosted in Azure VM.
Do I need to provide a remote connection to SQL Server?
Are there any other settings needed?
I'm using Power BI Desktop to create some visualizations using SAP HANA Cloud Database. And for the development, I've installed and configured SAP cloud connector in my local machine and successfully connected with the HANA cloud database.
By using the server as localhost like below
The problem is, once I deploy my report to my Power BI cloud workspace it gives following error
Before publishing, I've changed the Server to the Cloud Connector's IP instead of localhost.
How can we Integrate Google Service account setup with Tableau Desktop server so that we can access BQ data in tableau to have the visualization for that data.
I have created a Power app in the Power apps portal. This power app communicates to one of my databases via an on-premises gateway. On a button click on the power app embedded in the Power BI Desktop, few selected data is passed as a parameter to a procedure which runs in my database.
I am using this power app embedded in my Power BI Desktop template.
Power BI Desktop -> Power Apps -> DB (via on Premises Gateway)
Power app works only with the internet.
Is it possible to make power app communicate to my local database without any network connections? (without on-premises or cloud databases)
If no, then is it possible to redirect the power app communication to the appropriate db gateway by passing the parameter(gateway name) from Power BI Desktop from which the request originated?
Thanks in advance
Unfortunately, PowerApps doesn't work offline today. It won't be able to talk to your local database without network connection.
You can direct PowerApps to talk to the appropriate data gateway. Make sure you install the gateway from PowerApps portal first. Then create a connection using that gateway to your local database. Then use that connection in your PowerApps to talk to your database (read/write to your local database).
Hope this helps!
