    hyggins,

    Do you connect to Power BI Service dataset using Power BI Service connector in Power BI Desktop ? Or you are editing the original PBIX file which you have published to Power BI Service?

    If you are editing the original PBIX file, backup the PBIX file, then delete the data source (File->Options and Settings->Data Source Settings->Clear Permission) and reconnect(File->Options and Settings->Data Source Settings->Edit Permission) to see if it works.

    Regards,
    Lydia

Hello Anonymous,

 

Thank you for the reply. I am editing the original PBIX file. I was able to test this morning and the steps you detailed brought back the credential prompts. Using my Organization credentials I connected successfully to the Excel file in my OneDrive for Business folder.

 

Thanks again!
