Hello ,
I am connecting to an XML file stored in a SharePoint site.
I can successfully connect to it using the Web connector via Pbi desktop.
But once I publish the report and try to set up the Data source credentials, it fails with the following error.
'Failed to update data source credentials: The credentials provided for the Web source are invalid.'
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks ,
Shilpa

Hi @Anonymous ,
Which authentication you are using? Try to edit credentials to Anonymous to try it again.
Please refer this issue:
Sharepoint data source credentials not getting updated

Can you try a connection via Sharepoint Folder instead and see if that makes a difference?
