Power Query - Connection to SQL

[Anonymous]

Hi Experts

is there a way to automatically connect to your SQL db with out going into Power Query everyday and enabling the connections for each of the tables, i am pulling through. I have to edit credentials all the time very day.... instead i want to auto refresh the connection??? if possible.

Hi @Anonymous，

By my tests, it seems that when you edit your credential for the first time, you don't need to edit for the second time if you don't open the pbix file from another machine.

You could check if you have the permission under Global Permission in Data source settings.

In addition, you could have a reference of this thread about credentials.
