@Anonymous , have you tried basic?

But this seem like a different approch

@amitchandak thanks tried the link already. With the approach mentioned , the file in ADLS is 500MB and when i connect using PBI and try to load the data the query window shows processing way more than 500MB, wonder what else it is processing and finally fails with the out of memory error.

I think you did not understand my question when you asked me if i tried Basic. I do NOT get an option to choose, as soon as i enter the url, i get a message to edit,retry or cancel. It does NOT give me an option to choose the kind of credential i want to use.

Thanks
