Credentials are required to connect to the SQL source when using parameter for query

Hello,   I have a report that is scheduled to refresh everyday and it has been working fine until yesterday.  I noticed that it failed to refresh and it looked like gateway not configured correctly...

Can you show us what your data types are set to in the Parameters in your PBIX?

Hi GilbertQ ,

 

This is my steps:

 

1. Created a stored procedures called spTestVy (see below)

 

 

2.  In my Power BI report, added Parameter called 'SiteNo' with type interger

 

 

3.  In my power query, I have the following.  Need to use Number.ToText() to convert.  If not, I'm getting error can't concatenate string with number

 

 

4.  In my report, only display this

 

 

5.  Published the report to my dashboard.  Go to settings -> under Gateway connection, I get the message not configured correctly.

 

 

6.  Now if I change my parameter type to string then the gateway can see datasource.

 

 

 

 

Something changed because it was working before when having the paramter as integer.
