Continued Contributorsemantic model refresh fail after credential update
Hi smeetsh
This usually happens because the password change invalidates the stored credentials in the Power BI / Fabric service. Fixing it in Desktop only helps locally the refresh in the service still uses the old credentials.
Go to your semantic model in the Power BI service >> Settings >> Data source credentials >> re-enter the updated login details for each data source (SQL, Warehouse, etc.). Once those are saved, the refresh should start working again.
If a gateway is involved, make sure credentials there are also updated. In most cases you don’t need to republish the PBIX just updating the service credentials is enough.
