title: Connect Power BI with Azure SQL Database Server Using AAD Credentials
body: <p>I am trying to connect Power BI to an Azure SQL Database Server. I am able to connect to the database using SSMS and have added my IP to the firewall settings of the server. However, every time I try to connect Power BI to my SQL Server, I get the following error: </p>
  
  <p>"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)" </p>
  
  <p>I am authenticating to the SQL Server using my Microsoft account, but the error still persists.</p>
