Hi @jessicaloureiro ,

This error means that the client can't find the SQL Server instance. This can happen when at least one of the following problems exists:

• The name of the computer hosting the SQL Server instance doesn't resolve the correct IP
• The TCP port number isn't specified correctly

For more details, please refer to

Troubleshoot connecting to the SQL Server Database Engine - SQL Server | Microsoft Docs

Where is this coming from - your Power BI Desktop or a gateway/service refresh ?
