@vanessafvg Not Yet, I have 3-4 reports and it behaving the same way. 

And, I dont want to republish the reports as those have already been shared with multiple users.

 

interesting!   and you can obviously look into the blog storage in azure.  Must be some kind of authentication issue via the service

 

saw this old post, maybe it can help?

@vanessafvg Alright, would take a look, and it's not only blob storage.

This report connects to anothet data source, Azure SQL, and I am getting the same error while attempting connection to it.

And these IPs are whitelisted as well.

 

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please try to use standard gateway to refresh dataset though the data source is in cloud.
