Changing source

Hi guys,

I have developed a report using DEV. now i want to change the source to PROD

I have a service account the report must use now.

SQL connects.

When i change source and use the service account, it wont connect.

If I start  PowerBI using tha service accout, I can connect

Any idea why?

cheers

ian
