Hi @Anonymous ,

 

My guess is that you need to update your authentication details on the source(s) that contribute to this visual.

In PBI Desktop, go to the Home tab > Transform data. This will open Power Query.

Click down the query list on the left hand side and check that all queries load. Any that give you an authentication error, choose to configure the connection and apply appropriate credentials.

This error seems to specifically be about Windows Credentials so you may need to create database credentials on your source(s) instead and/or add the source(s) to an on-prem gateway, which may bypass the local issue.
