Personal gateway credentials issue
Hi,
I am using the Trial version of power BI Pro and have installed the personal gateway in order to connect to an on premises data source.
After installing the gateway, in power BI it is mentionned "Online" under Gateway connection in the dataset configuration.
But when I try to refresh the data, it says "The credentials stored in the cloud are missing".
So I saw a previous post where the solution was to re-enter the credentials in power BI.
But the issue I'm facing is that the link to edit the credentials is missing in Power BI cloud.
Do you know what might be causing this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Omar
Hi Guys,
Thanks for your input and your support regarding this issue.
It seems that Microsoft has corrected this issue last night: the Edit credentials link is now available again!!
Best regards,

obaechtiger I have had this same issue. I noticed it yesterday with a new dataset I uploaded. Just a simple excel file for testing and I was unable to refresh. I updated by personal gateway, stopped the service, started the service and redeployed the PBIX mulitple times. I see the same behavior you describe below.
There is an error warning on the power bi support site, but it only references SharePoint as a data source...
Looks like I'm in a different region as well
I've been having the same issue since yesterday morning. Very sad :(

I've updated the credentials in the Power BI Desktop file, and now after publishing I am not able to edit credentials in the cloud. I see the same blank section under data source credentials that you see! What's going on???
This is day #5 and Microsoft has not yet fixed this issue! Seems like with as many people using PBI this issue should have been fixed by now! Very sad.
I tried a the following:
* Deleting the data sets in Power BI and republishing
* Changing the name of the Power BI desktop file and republishing
But couldn't get it to work. Finally I created a new Power BI desktop file and imported the same data source. After publishing it, when trying to refresh that dataset I was asked for credentials in the Power BI service. At that point, the old data sets started refreshing. HOWEVER, they still don't have the option to change their credentials in the Power BI service. The data source credentials section is still blank!
Very frustrating not to understnad how or why this is happening.
I have been working on a support ticket with microsoft on this one. I was FORCED to migrate to a different gateway and was told that my ticket was being archived since I could connect using the other gateway (not approved by iT).
I was told that they did not know when this would be resolved or even if it would be resolved.
I am facing the same issue...the schedule refresh suddenly didnt work up and following message is shown.
