Credentials are invalid public cloud Sharepoint online-PowerBI.com connection
I am having the same issue
Similar issue except I'm using an Excel spreadsheet that is stored in a SharePoint Online document repository. When I did the initial Get Data to access the spreadsheet, I had a hiccup with either SharePoint or PowerBI inserting a "@SSL" into the file path - which prevented its upload, but when I deleted the "@SLL" from the filepath, I was able to bring in the data just fine. People I have share the dashboards with can also see the visualizations just fine. Now I go to schedule a daily refresh and it says my credentials are invalid. In this case, it's using Windows credentials and I'm still logged in as the original Windows user I was at the beginning, so this is making no sense to me.
Having said that, I'm logged into a preview version of a PowerBI using different PowerBI credentials than my Windows credentials. Could this be the problem? If so, then why was I able to get the data in the first place?
