    Thank you Ibendlin for your response. This problem was resolved as follow.
    Context of the problem: I changed my lapptop and after installing the power BI on new laptop I did face this problem. 

    Later I came to know that, when we install power BI, credentials in the Data Source Setting are set to windows by default. So I changed them to Database by going to
    Home => Transform data => Data Source Setting => Edit Permissions => Edit => Database and then provide your database credentials there, hit the SAVE button and you are DONE!
