Invalid credentials when trying to connect to data source to create dataflow
Hello,
I am trying to create a dataflow in the power bi service, selecting the "Add new entities" option. The data source that I select is from Text/CSV. I enter the file path, then select the on-premises data gateway I created. By default it gives me the Windows authification kind. I put my Windows username and password but it gives me invalid credentials. Has anyone been through the same trouble?

Hi Anonymous ,
Do you enter the domain when you entered the username? As my tested, if you do not enter domain, the issue will appear.

Hello Icey
Thank you for your response.
I do enter the domain. It is the one mentioned on my account profile under the "Your info" section. But it doesn't work. I will check again with our IT.
I have found solution to this problem
I creatwd a dataflow in the power bi service, selecting the "Add new tables" option. The data source that I select is from Text/CSV. I enter the file path, then select the on-premises data gateway I created. By default it gives me the Windows authification kind. I put my Windows username and password but I was getting error of invalid credentials.
I tried putting windows username which in "Email and Accounts", is under "Add work or School account". For me , Its gmail account and it specifies that "All Apps can sign me in", the i put corresponding password and it worked.
