Dataflow, invalid credentials

I setup gate way with no issues

 

From power Bi service online - I input the file path, select on premises data gateway, input my username and password

 

click next and I get the the error below

 

invalid credentials - Session ID: 916c46aa-d789-41f3-8afc-ae788991c804

 

This doesn't make sense as I am using the same username and password I login to microsoft.

 

Gateway is online and ready

 

diagnostics say test results  was Success for everything

 

How do I resolve this?

Hi there

The username and password that you are using is to the file path where your file is stored.

This is often in the format of DOMAIN\UserName & Password
