SharePoint On Premises with FBA authentication enabled issue on PowerBI

I am trying to connect SharePoint On Premises site which has windows and FBA (Form based authentication). Tried with windows credentials to authenticate Sharepoint from PowerBI. But getting "Authentication Error" issue.

Did you find a solution to this?

 

We are having the same problem. If we enable anonymous access, then we can see all the anonymous data, but still not anything that is not anonymous.

Hi @Anonymous

 

Does this "Authentication Error" only occur in Power BI Desktop? Are you able to access the same sharepoint on-premises site in a web browser on your computer with the same windows credentials? Please have a test.
