    Hi jemmaa ,
    It typically points to an authorization issue with the AI Functions connector in Power BI Desktop. Since you've already confirmed that your Power BI Pro license is active, you've reinstalled Power BI, and have cleared and re-entered credentials, the next likely cause is that the AI workload might no longer be enabled in your tenant. 

     

    Even though you're working in Power BI Desktop and not yet connected to a workspace, AI features like text analytics still depend on tenant-level settings. To move forward, double-check with your Power BI administrator to ensure the AI workload is enabled in your tenant or Premium capacity settings.

     

    Also, revisit Transform Data > Data Source Settings in Desktop, clear any cached credentials for "AIFunctions", and sign in again. If you're using a Premium workspace, ensure the AI workload is turned on in the Capacity settings in the Power BI Admin Portal.

Hi jemmaa ,

 

The error message indicates a PowerBINotAuthorizedException, which means the AI Functions connector is being blocked due to authorization issues. This can happen if:

  • Your Power BI license or permissions have changed.
  • The AI workload is no longer enabled in your tenant.
  • The data source credentials need to be re-entered or updated.

To resolve it:

  1. Go to Power BI Desktop > Transform Data > Data source settings.
  2. Find the AI Functions source and clear permissions.
  3. Reconnect and sign in again with the correct credentials.
  4. Ensure your Power BI Pro or Premium license is active.
  5. If using a Premium workspace, verify that AI workload is enabled in the capacity settings.

If the issue persists, contact your Power BI administrator to check tenant-level settings.
