I have no problems connecting to Salesforce Reports/Objects from Power BI Desktop, but when I publish the dataset to the Power BI Service, I am unable to connect to Salesforce. I have verified that I can log into Salesforce without problems. I'm sure there is some combination of settings between Power BI and Salesforce that need to be tweaked, but I have not been able to find the answer online.

I have never seen someone use Microsoft Authentication against SFDC. Are you sure that's how you login? The service likely won't know which Microsoft account to use.
"Microsoft Account" is the only option available in the dropdown. When I go to authenticate, it opens the Salesforce login dialogue box and I am able to successfully authenticate. However, when I click "Next" I receive that error message.
I've opened a ticket with Microsoft in the meantime and they are investigating.
