Visualizing Results with PowerBI

This page shows how to refresh data for the PowerBI file on your VM. If you want to instead download the file to your own computer, first open the firewall on your VM by execute the following command in a PowerShell window on the VM: 
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQLServer" dir=in action=allow protocol=tcp localport=1433

Then follow the SQL Server On-Premises instructions.

These instructions show you how to replace the cached data in the PowerBI dashboard with data from your SQL Server VM on Azure solution. SQL Server On-Premises solution, or any SQL Server other than localhost. HDInsight Spark solution.

First, try refreshing the data using the Refresh button on the toolbar. Use your Windows credentials if prompted.

  5. Click on Edit Query
  6. Select the first query (TestData) and then click on the Advanced Editor in the toolbar.
  7. Replace localhost with your server name and click on Done. (If you are using an Azure VM, such as the one deployed using the 'Deploy to Azure' button on the Quick start page, use the IP address for the server name.)
