@harshagraj - I think this has come up in another thread recently. You cannot have 2 different authentication types to the same source.

The credentials for the service - usually originate in Power BI Desktop.

 

Go to Data source settings in the Power BI Desktop (it's in the Transform Data menu).  

 

Then you can edit or delete these two credentials to ensure they are following the correct path.  Since it's the same data source - the permissions for one are likely being used for the other.  You'll likely need to try and split it out in this menu first. 

Hi thanks for your reply. But i can see only like below. If I have two i can make two different ones. Kindly help.mw.JPG
