    Hi v-yingjl ,

     

    Thank you for your reply, I tried your steps and unfortunately, it didn't solve my issue. Finally I checked the new data set manually and I found some #N/A in it. Somehow this showed an error in PowerQuery which resulted in this error... Still strange because this error isn't referring to an error in the data set so that's confusing. 

    But when I removed the #N/A's and refreshed the report again it worked, without any credential errors.

    Kind Regards,
    Ramon

Hi Anonymous ,

You can clear the credentials in data source settings and reconnect to sharepoint using the latest credentials to check whether it works. (Transform data -> Data source settings -> Clear Permissions)

This works for me after updating October 2022 version when trying to get data from Sharepoint...

 

Thank you for the TIP...
