Error on refreshing the dashboard

Hi, Why am I getting this error when I try to refresh my PBI in the shared workspace?

 

Data source error: Scheduled refresh is disabled because at least one data source is missing credentials. To start the refresh again, go to this dataset's settings page and enter credentials for all data sources. Then reactivate scheduled refresh.

Hi, @Anonymous 

According to your error message, it says that you missing credentials. I suggest you to go to the setting->dataset->Data source Credentials to update your credential for each data source:

As the error says- you need to put the credentials for the data source and that's why it's failing.
