Quickbooks Online credentials
Hi fhovey ,
The error message "Error while reading configuration file:C:\Program Files\On-premises data gateway\m\ODBC Drivers\Simba Quickbooks ODBC Driver\QuickBooksODBC.mdef" means:
There is a problem with the configuration file.
Please make sure the file path is correct and that the file exists in this location.
If the file or path is incorrect, please adjust it to the correct location.
The error message "Unable to connect to the data source. Either the data source is inaccessible, a connection timeout occurred, or the data source credentials are invalid." means:
There is a problem with the data source credentials or they have occurred.
Please double check that the credentials used for the QuickBooks data source are correct, you may need to update or re-enter the credentials in the gateway configuration.
If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.

But why would I need an on-prem gateway to begin with since QBO is online?
Hi fhovey ,
Do you mean your dataset is on a cloud service and not on-premises?
If your dataset is on a cloud service you really do not need a gateway.
If your dataset is local and connected through Power BI Desktop and then published to Power BI Service, a gateway is required.
In your original problem description, the 400 status code indicates that the data source credentials are incorrect.
Can you make sure that under the dataset settings you have updated the credentials to the correct location?
Maybe you can use OAuth2 authentication instead of basic authentication.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.

These two cases may be helpful to your problem.
