I started getting a connection error in Power BI Service and Desktop. I corrected the Desktop file by Unchecking the "Encrypt Connections" Option and I am now able to connect via the desktop. I am still unable to update the data set via Service.
I get the following Details:
Cannot connect to the mashup data source. See error details for more information.
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.

Hi @v-piga-msft,
I have tried switching to my Personal Gateway. This gave me the same error. I uninstalled the Personal Gateway and reinstalled. I also checked to make sure the version of the Gateway and Power BI desktop are most up to date. I am still able to refresh in Power BI Desktop, but not in Power BI Service. I get a new error in Service. See below.
Last refresh failed: Mon Aug 20 2018 09:50:30 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)
An invalid credential due to signature doesn't match. Please check your connection data source credential.Hide details

Hi @v-piga-msft,
The issue is not solved. I have submitted a ticket with my IT group who is now working with Microsoft to correct the issue. Interesting to note that Live Query appears to work, but Import does not. Even when using the same credentials on the same gateway. I will be pursuing this with my IT Department further.
Thank you,
Chris
Hi @chawkinsitron,
Based on your error message, it seems that the issue is caused by the credential you connect to the data source is invalid.
What kind of credential do you use when you connect the data source in Power BI Desktop?
You should use the same credential when you add data source in Gateway. Maybe you could remove the data source you add before and add it again with the valid credential in Data Gateway.
Best Regards,
Cherry
