Hi @hhajnalka96
Thank you very much dharmendars007 for your prompt reply.
This error in Power BI usually indicates a problem with the credentials to access the data source. Here are some solutions:
Check the data source credentials. Go to the data source Settings in Power BI to ensure that the credentials of the data source are correct and up to date.
Attempts to re-enter the credentials of the data source. You can do this through the Edit permissions option.
File > Options and Settings > Data source settings
Make sure you have the necessary permissions to access the data source. If the data source is a database, check with the database administrator.
Clearing the cache can sometimes solve the problem. Go to File > Options and Settings > Options > Data Load and Clear cache.
Ensure that the data source connection is normal. If the database is used, check whether the database server is running properly.
