When am trying to schedule refresh am getting the error regarding the databse credentials, can some one help me which credentials i got to place in there.
Hi @aka,
In Power BI Service, choose same authentication method and enter same credentials that you use to connect to these data sources in Power BI Desktop.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang
These will be the credentials that your databases/sharepoint expect. Typically you might want this to be a service account that doesn't have its password change periodically.
