Power BI Report refresh failed on server

‎12-15-2020 08:00 PM

Hi guys,

 

I have a Powerbi report host on our local report server, anything works well and I can refresh data successful on Desktop, but when I upload to Report Server, it throw an error:

"Credentials are required to connect to the SQL source"

 

Any ideas? Thanks!

@Anonymous  Check if your account (at datasource settings - edit permission - credential) have necessary permission for the database. And check the connection string , which is case sensitive
