Data source credentials greyed out.

Try using SharePoint or OneDrive for Business links, not Teams shortcuts. For SharePoint files, it is more reliable to use Power BI built-in connector SharePoint Folder and Web connector for OneDrive with the correct file URL (direct path, not a sharing link).

Hi Anonymous
You can get the url from detail info of excel file, as below:
Then, use below PowerQuery expression to read the data:
let ExcelFileUrl = "pls input excel file url here", SheetName = "pls input sheetname here", ExcelWorkbook = Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents(ExcelFileUrl),true,null), Result = ExcelWorkbook{[Item=SheetName,Kind="Sheet"]}[Data] in Result
Did I answer your question? If yes, pls mark my post as a solution and appreciate your Kudos !Thank you~
Hi,
Can you confirm if the file URL starts with sites and not teams. Only the /sites/ format is accepted by the Power BI connector. If not, get the correct sharepoint url. Sign in with MS account, republish the report. In service, edit credentials and schedule refresh.
Hope that helps!
