Hi , ChristianEvan33 

According to your screenshot , it works well in the Power Bi Desktop, but in Power BI Service, it seems the credential you provide is not right.

You need to go the Power Bi Desktop , and click "Transfor data"->"Data source settings" to see which credential you provide in Power BI Desktop:

You need to keep the same both in Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service. By default , the "Ouath2" is using the Azure Active Directory(AAD) as a credential , if your datasouce is not used AAD as an autentication mode , you need to change the autentication mode in Power Bi Service.

 

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI! 

 

Best Regards,

Aniya Zhang

I was having the same refresh problem because of invalid credentials process. What worked for me was using a local gateway instead of a cloud connection.
