SharePoint and Power BI error message
While inside the "Transform Data" section of Power BI, there is an area that holds the saved credentials to all of your sources. Back out of the "Get Data" screen and locate a button called "Data Source Settings".
If you have already got the sharepoint connection inside one of your queries, it should appear in the "Data sources in current file". If not, select the "global permissions". Locate the entry for your sharepoint source, click on it and you should see a button at the bottom called "Edit Permissions". Update the permissions with a username/password that is authorised for that SharePoint site.
If the sharepoint site is hosted on an internal server, you'll like use "Windows" type credentials. If the SharePoint site is host using SharePoint Online, you'll need to use "Microsoft Account"
