    Hi Raseema Shanavas
    I understand the frustration this error can cause. The message usually points to a certificate validation problem between Power BI and your Databricks workspace. A couple of quick checks that normally help:

    • Make sure you’re on the latest Power BI Desktop and Databricks ODBC driver.
    • Double-check that the Server Hostname and HTTP Path match what you see in your Databricks workspace.
    • If you’re behind a corporate proxy or firewall, sometimes SSL inspection can break the connection - updating root certificates or bypassing SSL inspection for Databricks often resolves it.

    Here’s the official guide that walks through the connection steps: Connect Power BI Desktop to Azure Databricks.

    Refer this similar thread to get more clarity on the issue.

    Please give these steps a try and let us know if the issue persists.
