I created a report in PowerBI desktop and when I try to refresh the report to apply all changes, it keeps popping window asking for credentials in the middle of report refresh after it has pulled partial rows. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Which version of Power BI Desktop are you using? Can you install the latest version, clear permissions and try again? And if possible, test whether this happens on multiple computers or only on one computer.
