Hi bharath47 ,

Please try to create Personal Access Token(PAT) to connect.

Refer:

  1. Enter client credentials in Power BI or Excel 
  2. Use personal access tokens 

Notice:

We recommend you keep IIS Basic Authentication turned off at all times when using Azure DevOps Server. Only if necessary should you enable IIS Basic Authentication. When IIS Basic Authentication is enabled on your windows machine, it prevents you from using personal access tokens (PATs) as an authentication mechanism.

Refer: Enabling IIS Basic Authentication invalidates using Personal Access Tokens
