SharePoint data source - authentication method service principal
Hello, I see that the authentication method 'service principal' can be used to authenticate to SharePoint Online but it does not seem to work for me to authenticate. My data source is just a List...
Hi naelske_cronos,
The snapshot shows the error message that provided credentials is invalid. Did you used the same type of credentials when you design power bi report and connection to the data source?
AFAIK, they should be matched or these credentials not able to be used and power bi will also notice credentials are invalid.

Hello,
In Power BI desktop it is not possible to use service principal as authentication method, only in Power BI service.
It is working via the other authentication methods like OAuth2 but not via the service principal?
Kind regards
