@KH_Mike ,
This is the 401 Error which is usually associated with authentication. Hence, it seems like Power BI is unable to authenticate the data sources you have pulled into report.

Please refer solution of this thread.

 

Also, please raise a ticket with MS Support so that you can be guided based on your specific use case.
