Power BI data flow: We could not evaluate this query due to invalid or missing credentials.

When trying to append two tables in a Power BI Dataflow on a Premium capacity, I get the error:

 

We could not evaluate this query due to invalid or missing credentials.

 

One of the sources is a flat csv file stored in SharePoint.

The other is a SQL server connection.

 

They both work perfectly, independently.

 

Can anyone help?

Just solved for me by amending the data type to Organizational on the 2 queries if you have access to the Gateway

Hi @webportal ,

 

The easiest way is to try to recreate this dataflow. Also see if a similar solution works for you:

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and related operation screenshoots. Looking forward to your reply.


Best Regards,

Hi @lbendlin 

 

Yes, that's right. And the sharepoint Id is the same as power bi.

Ha, I remember!  We had a similar issue.  In this scenario you must use a gateway for your sharepoint data source even though technically it makes little sense.

That's right! That solves the problem.

Thank you!

 

EDIT:

Actually, it DOESN'T solve the problem.

 

Now, I get:

Unexpected error (Session ID: xxx Region: europe)
