@cginga,

What type of server do you connect to in the ODBC data source? And what version of Power BI Desktop do you use?

I make a test using SQL Server, everything works well if my login contains % or +. And I am able to import data from the ODBC data source that conatins SQL Server connection in Power BI Desktop September 2018. In your scenario, I would recommend you check if the password is correct, you can also verify if the ODBC connection works in Excel.

Regards,
Lydia
