Sharepoint authentication error "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided"
Hi,
My issue was different from the one described in the post you link.
Appartently it was an issue with the Edge authentication prompt. I fixed the issue by changing my default browser to chrome and in Power BI go to Settings > Security > User my default webbrowser.
This fixed the issue.
One other option that might work for this is that if your SharePoint list columms is linked to other areas of SharePoint, you can remove those columns. It's possible that those areas are restricted and even though you're not utilizing the underlying information, it may be preventing you from accessing that data. I removed those fields that could be expanded and my error went away.
Thank you for this! I never would have figured out this was my issue after trying to connect over and over again. A different error should be displayed when this happens.
