I've attempted to add a connection to a SQL DB, but accidentally told Power BI to utilize my windows credentials. Doing this failed because I needed to use server authentication. However when I go to 'get data' I type in the server name and hit connect, and it spins and then errors out with a named pipe issue. It does not ask me how I want to authenticate anymore. Is there a way to make Power BI forget how I tried to connect? Or is there something else going on? I was able to log in to the DB via PLSQL.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can try going to Data Source settings and "Edit Permissions".
There you will find Credentials section, where you can edit Type.

You're a lifesaver, for 1. For 2: I didn't realize I had to click over to 'global permissions' to get to it or I could've been done with this an hour ago lol. thanks again!!!!
