SalesForce scheduled synch setup returns error

I work with the PowerBI Desktop version and dashboards are published to the web. The SalesForce login works from the PowerBI Desktop version and I can get the reports data from SalesForce. But when the pbix file is published I am unable to update data source credentails for the SalesForce data source in order to setup scheduled SalesForce data synch. Any help would be appriaciated!

 

 

I see the following error message: 

The credentials you provided for the data source are invalid. Please ensure the credentials you have provided for all the data sources are valid.

I am having exacty the same problem - the Salesforce credentials are good, but PowerBI refresh compains they are invalid with eeither Error 200 or Error 400

 

I have also checked in Salesforce Login history and it reports that POwerBI refresh has sucessfully logged in.
