Hi @Analitika,

Have you used the same data source with other credentials at the present?
AFAIK, power bi has cached the used credentials at the local device, they may conflict when you worked with the same data source with other types of credentials. So you can't use the same data connector with multiple data credentials.
For this scenario, you can try to use a different type of data connector to connect to your sources.
