Cannot use scheduled refresh for dataset in service: Credentials are required to connect...
Hi there,
I experienced this issue for only some of my files in the dataset.
I have several files on a SharePoint Online and most of them are working. In PBI Desktop I am able to trigger a refresh successfully. But for some I get an error in the scheduled refresh and try to change the credentials. I use OAuth which works fine most of the time. Nevertheless I receive a 400 error for some files stating:
Error updating the credentials - Credentials are required to connect to the Web source.
I have no idea why this is working for most of the time but those datasources are really annoying. I already tried different browsers (IE / Edge / Chrome), deleted the browser cache, used private sessions, entered the credentials manually again, verified the datasources, etc.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance!
Best Tobias
Hi Frank,
I found the solution, it was in the detail.
The path of the files where the issue appeared had square brackets. Since I changed that to a normal text format without brackets it is authorizing normally.
I changed "Segment [date]_EU.csv" to "Segment_EU.csv" and that solved the problem.
Cheers
Tobias

Hi tobiasmoehrke,
Based on my test, I cannot reproduce your issue here. Also my Authentication method is OAuth and my desktop version is Version: 2.60.5169.4101 64-bit (July 2018). Could you please tell me how did you connect to the files in SharePoint? Or you can delete the dataset and republish once again.
Regards,
Frank
