title: Connect Power BI to SQL Azure
body: <p>I have a database in the SQL Azure Service (not in a VM).  I can connect to the database using SQL Server Management Studio but I'm not able to connect using Power BI Desktop edition.  The error is very generic<a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NWDTf.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NWDTf.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>"Unable to connect".  I have tried to connect using both an AD and a SQL user.  Is there a way to debug or troubleshoot a Power BI connection ?  I do think Power BI is finding the server because if I put in a nonexistent server I get a message that the server can't be found.  I'm wondering if this has something to do with the account I log into Power BI with although I have tried logging in to Power BI with the Azure admin account and I get the same failure message as in the screen capture image.</p>
