    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Based on my test in Power BI desktop 2.51.4885.701 64-bit (October 2017), get data from MySQL database,local Excel file,Google Analytics,Google Bigquery, Salesforce data sources then publish to Power BI service, there are options for us to enter crednetial for data sources and set schedule refresh. 

     

     

     

     

    In your scenario, please open Data source Settings in Power BI desktop to verify if only these five data sources used. 

     

     

    Also please check if you just retrieved data, do you do any steps in Query Editor, eg: Append Queries, Merge Queries? Please try to run the same desktop version as ours. 

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

Try disabling refresh in your Query Editor for those queries you don't need to refresh. Otherwise, the Power BI service is going to complain about not being able to fetch new data, due to a potential lack of an appropriate datasource.

That is how I disabled them.
