Credential issues for data flow

Hi, 

 

I am trying to connect data from Dataflows to PowerBI desktop but I am unable to do so - have issues with my credentials even though it's directly to my onedrive.

Hi! I am still unable to do so... my data source is an organizational sharepoint folder - and i have alr logged in and verify credentials.

 

is it because i am using PBI Pro?

Hi @tiffanyt123 ,

 

It should work, i suggest you to end the power bi task from the task manager and try to authenticate again by opening the power bi,
