Hi @sonaliverma ，

 

So this looks like a temporary bug that has now been fixed. I will change the status to ”Delivered“.

Hi,

I am having a similar issue that started on 11/14/2022.  We had some PowerBI reports reading some excel spreadsheets on a Sharepoint Online site.  I tried using the web connector instead of the Sharepoint Folder and I was able to connect on a new Power BI report.  When we try to then modify the PowerBI report to use the web connector instead of the Sharepoint Folder connector, we are now getting the error "The OAuth authentication method isn't supported for this data source. Contact your admin"  Again, if  I do this in a new report, it works fine when published to the PowerBI service.  I appreacieate any help or direction you can provide.

@kevin93 would be worth checking if your PowerBI gateway needs to be updated if you have one ?

@kasiaw29  Hi, I'm not using a gateway as the data sources are in the cloud. The funny part is there are 2 types of data sources but there are from same location - I face issue for Web but not SharePointlist
