Data Source Credentials
Evening,
I've been working an a power BI solution in power bi desktop on my laptop. It is pulling data from excel files on my local hard drive. I recently published the power bi report to my power bi work space and moved the source files to a sharepoint directory. Now when I try to refresh the data it fails. If I go into the settings and look at data source credentials I get the following message:
When I go to the "Edit Credentials" next to each source I get a window with the path to the sharepoint directory and file, authentication method is "Windows without impersonation" (that's the only option), and the privacy level is set for organizational. I clik sign in and get an endless loop until I cancel.
Anyone have any idea what is happening? I've tried to refresh from the lineage page and that didn't help.
Figured it out. There was an issue with the path to the files in power bi desktop. Once that was corrected and published I had to delete the old data files from the workspace because republishing did not overwrite the file path with the correct path.
