Direct Query with BigQuery - Authentication error on PowerBI service but working on Desktop

Hello Community, 

 

we run several PowerBI Workbooks with a direct connection to Google BigQuery. Unfortunately, starting yesterday, these workbooks cannot be accessed anymore as the service throws the following error message:

  • Message The credentials provided cannot be used for the GoogleBigQuery source. (Source at GoogleBigQuery.)

Checking the Workbook on a PowerBI Desktop instance, everything work fine. Does someone else has this problem as well or has an idea how to fix this?

Thank you and greetings

Hi guys,

 

Yeah, Power BI engineering team has resolved an issue impacting customers loading or refreshing reports using Google BigQuery in DirectQuery mode. Following the applied solution customers are required to re-enter credentials for the affected Dataset. To re-enter credentials navigate to Dataset Settings for affected datasets and re-enter credentials through “Edit credentials” under the Data source credentials section.

 

 

Best Regards,
Xue Ding

Meanwhile, please try to navigate to the dataset settingds and data source credentials and click on "Edit Credentials" to authenticate.

Thanks for your answer! I alredy re-authenticated and used different credentials. Unfortunately without success. 

The error message I got is the one I shared in my first post.
