Hello,
I repeatedly got this error message when i refresh the dataset of my report in Power BI" Data source error: Scheduled refresh is disabled because at least one data source is missing credentials. To start the refresh again, go to this dataset's settings page and enter credentials for all data sources. Then reactivate scheduled refresh.
How can i resolve this?
Hi @DeboA
From the error it appears that one of your data sources has got the credentials changing and that is causing the refresh to fail. As far as I can see after 3 failed refreshes it disables the refresh schedule.
I would suggest using a credential where the password does not change and it does not use MFA
