Authenticating Excel Workbook File - Semantic Model not refreshing due to invalid credentials
Looking at your screenshot, if it's the source you have open, it source starts with C:\, which means it's your local computer - that's why it wants to use a gateway/Windows auth. You may have that folder synced up to SharePoint, but Power BI is looking for it locally. You can update the path it's looking at to the SharePoint path to fix (you won't need a gateway if it's Online) - I have a video on how to do that here if it helps.

Thank you so much!! That makes perfect sense and your video was exactly what I needed to do 🙂 I have now been able to set up my Refresh schedule again and all the data is working.
Awesome!!
