Hi @Jyothi_Suragani ,

This maybe a permission/authentication error. When you ever connect to  your data source in an unauthorized account, the corresponding credential would be created. You may need to change credential,  go to “File –> Options and Settings –> Data Source Settings”.

Please check the steps connect to powerbi through blob storage connection using sas.

1. Navigate to powerbi.com.
2. In your workspace, create a new Dataflow or Dataset.
3. On the “Choose data source” page, search for your data source (ie. “Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2” or “Azure Blobs”) and select a source.
4. In the Authentication kind drop down, select the Shared Access Signature (SAS) option. To retrieve your SAS token, go to portal.azure.com, navigate to your resource, and, under Security + networking, select shared access signature and scroll down to view the SAS token. Paste the value into the box and select next.
5. Proceed with the rest of the data transformation as usual!
