For detailed information about refresh, see Refresh data in Power BI and Configure scheduled refresh.

While you set up scheduled refresh for an Azure SQL database, if you get an error with error code 400 when editing the credentials, try these steps to configure the correct firewall rule:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. Go to the Azure SQL database for which you're configuring refresh.

  3. In the Overview page, select Set server firewall.

  4. On the Networking page, select Allow Azure services and resources to access this server and choose Save.
