Invalid Credentials when connecting to SharePoint Folder

[Anonymous]

Hi guys!

I went through many posts here, but still didn't find a solution.

I am trying to build a new dataflow on Power BI Service using a SharePoint folder as data source, as I did many times before. However it throws me a credentials error, and I can't figure out why.

Any help is much appreciated!!

I have the similar problem when i need to access the sharepoint file as the data source via web (after publish) and i also tested via desktop, same thing happens. The error message says,

Failed to update data source credentials: The credentials provided for the Web source are invalid. (Source at https://ptptmn.sharepoint.com/:x:/r/sites/.........xlsx.) 

notes: i intendedly hide some of the url

In desktop I've tried from windows login, basic, organizational account but nothing worked.

Please if you could give me some enlightment why this happens?

i even tried to copy the data source to a different folder in which the permission as owner, but it's still the same.

The pbix is from self dev user that's why when it was developed it can connect but when i as the admin who has pro license help him with the publish and dataset setting, i met with this problem, the account which i use to try access the file is already listed/have access to the folder & file.

Anyone please help.....

Hi @Anonymous ,

I can connect successfully, please make sure your account has access to this SharePoint site. Then clear the brower caching and reconnect to SharePoint.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
