Hi all
I am trying to connect to Salesforce from a Dataflow and Dataflow Gen2 and keep getting errors like this:
The data source kind doesn't support the credential type. Data source kind: Salesforce. Credential type: Anonymous.
and:
Credentials are required to connect to the Salesforce source. (Source at https://login.salesforce.com/.)
The same connection and Credentials work fine when connecting from PBIX-File in PBI Desktop.
Any ideas? Many thanks.

That might be possible, but that is not the question here:
I have an issue connecting to Salesforce to query data where I need help.
This seems to be a problem with Power BI Service.
You can't use anonymous. You need to have a Salesforce username and password, or a SSO token (but that expires periodically, so user/pwd is better)
Hi, I know. And I am logged in to my company account, and in Power BI it says that I am logged in.
But it does not work...
