Power BI Report Server - Sharepoint Datasource scheduled refresh

Hi,   We have a power BI dashboard that connects to a sharepoint document. I have used the Sharepoint Folder datasource to connect to this document. It works well on the power BI report server desk...

What is the error you are getting? Is it just one about incorrect username/password?

 

Have you tried entering the username in the form of <domain>\<username> ?

    I have the same issue when trying to scheadule updates to a report. Did you find a solution to this Anonymous ?

     

    I have tried specifing domain and leaving it out and always getting the message: Log on failed. Ensure the user name and password are correct.

     

    I can, with success, open a browser as this user and read the list that is the data source used in my report.

      Anonymous - We tried Power BI service and that seemed to work using a web connector. So we just moved our report to the cloud and I did not  try to make it work on Power BI report server. Hope that helps.

      Thanks!

        Thanks Anonymous. I assume you are using SharePoin Online as datasource? We are using an on-prem SharePoint so your solution will probably not work for us. :(
