Hi,
I have been trying to connect the web data source to Desktop Power BI but it is not happening and erroring out. I logged in to the Power BI desktop from my organization account and even try using the same while connecting with the web URL. Getting the same error again and again.
Thanks
Manoj
Hi @Anonymous ,
I cannot reproduce your issue. My test version 2.107.683.0 64-bit (July 2022). What is yours?
This maybe a permission/authentication error. When you connect to the data source in an unauthorized account, the corresponding credential would be created. So you need to change credential, go to “File –> Options and Settings –> Data Source Settings”, under “Global permissions”, choose to delete the old data source connections permission and click on Edit permission in Power BI Desktop. Then try to connect to it again and check if it is successful.
I have also found a similar post, please refer to it to see if it helps you.
SQL - "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided"
If it still errors, please provide more details.
Best Regards
