I am new to Power BI & have been learning a lot but I am running into some issues. I cannot get my semantic model to refresh when using the Power BI Service. I set everything up on desktop & publish it but it won't let me schedule a refresh because I get this failure everytime.
Now initially I set up a Web API through Anonymous & was connected to excel sheets. The I connected the excel sheets through a sharepoint folder. I separated the Web API & sharepoint folder to try to isolate the issue & same on both separate semantic models. Finally, I created a dataflow with the web api (still through anonymous) & same error. What am I doing wrong?

Hello @435kal
This issue you are getting becuase, you missed credentials to update in data sources.
If you are using on-premises data sources, ensure that the gateway is properly configured and online.
You had already tried separating the Web API and SharePoint folder, ensure that each data source is correctly configured and that credentials are provided for each one separately
