Hi, Can you please tell how can I know the windows authentication username and pwd for dataflow creation? I have already installed and signed in to the dataflow.
I tried with the credentials which I used to login to my laptop but it is giving error :

Hi Satyam916
1.When you input the useraccount, you need to input the domain\username, you can open the cmd, and input 'whoami' to find your domain\username, then put it to the username and input the password.
2.Your datasource is the local datasource, please make sure that you have installed the gateway. and make sure the gateway is installed on your own computer, the gateway should be installed on the same computer where your file is located. and the account you log in the gateway should be the same as the account you log in to the Power BI.
3.Please make sure that the path of your file is right.
If the following information cannot solve it, please consider to use sharepoint online or upload the file to onedrive.
Best Regards!
