Getting an error while trying to import data in Power BI using Spark in Azure HDInsight Connector - powerbi

I am new to Power BI and Azure HDInsight. I am trying to import data in Power BI using the Spark connector, but I am getting the below error.
We couldn't import data from Spark on Azure HDInsight.
Make sure you are entering the information correctly.
The status code in the error message is 500.
Please provide any inputs.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Shreya Kaushik

The issue turned out to be that the Azure HDInsight cluster that we had created was of version 3.6 while the Power BI spark connector only supports version 3.5 currently.
Thanks all for your help!

Connect Power BI to BigQuery by JSON key

I have a Google Cloud JSON key (eg. z-dexxent-3X5X02-2X5X287f780X.json) and I'd like to connect Power BI to some specific project/dataset/table in BigQuery using this JSON file.
Please, is there some step by step for this?
Thanks in advance!
I might be missing something, if your data is already in big query would use the built in Power BI Google bigquery connector
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-connect-bigquery
and if it is not yet in bigquery follow these steps

Importing notebook from Databricks into PowerBI

Is there easy way to import results of sql written in databricks notebook directly into powerbi ?
You can use the Partner Connect feature from Databricks. In a few clicks, it will help you to connect Delta tables with Power BI.
If that doesn't help then, export the data as CSV and use that as source for PowerBI

SSMS localdb to Power BI Gateway not connecting

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 have a user in SnowFlake which also uses PowerBI, INFORMATION_SCHEMA is missing in PowerBI

In the SnowFlake web interface, the INFORMATION_SCHEMA is visible and accesible. When logging in to PowerBI, with exactly the same user, the INFORMATION_SCHEMA is not shown. The PowerBI report should contain data of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA, how can I get this to be visible in PowerBI
Are you using PowerBI's native connector to Snowflake? Have you tried with the ODBC connector option instead? I ask because I've seen differences in native connectors versus the ODBC option and it's possible the native connector has some limitations that PowerBI can help work out with their native Snowflake connector. Note that the PowerBI team maintains/owns the native connector to Snowflake so you can follow-up with them.
There's also the potential option of using ACCOUNT_USAGE views instead of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA depending on what the user is looking for.
