    Thank you!!! Other BI tools don't spread logins over multiple tabs, I never even realized that was related to the authentication method (in all fairness, all of the other Microsoft tools seem to have a simple dropdown to select Windows vs. Server authentication). I really appreciate the help - I never would have found that!

     

    Thanks!!

    Thomas, maybe you can help me as well. I able to get to the screen you show, but then get a user name password error. When I try to Get data again trying to connect to same portal, it bypasses the user name password screen and just fails for wrong user name password. I have shut down and restarted and it still bypasses the user name password screen. How do I clear this to change the user name etc
