Hello everyone,
I've been looking for the same issue since yesterday and then I found my answer on this page : Credentials provided for the Web source are invalid - PowerBI - SharePoint Views
Hope this is gonna help some of you 😉spent a whole day on this bug!!!! Thx a lot.
I have also the same issue like you. Did you fixed it.
Has this been resolved by anyone? The credentails are correct.
They work perfectly fine for desktop but are not verifying in the app services.
Same issue. I am working in MS Fabric. Has it been resolved?
- Hi there
If you go into settings, then datasets and click on your dataset, can you click on Data Source Credentials and add your credentials there? Anonymous
Please refer the link.
Use the same credentials and privacy level like in Power BI Desktop and Service.
If the issue is persists, please share the error message.

In my case, password change from yesterday caused the issue. Thought things would rejig overnight after logoff and reboot. OneDrive needed signon today. Still the error but after a several hours it sorted itself out. I do not have admin rights so patience is needed. Also just doing the refreshes may have helped to kick things along.

What if you had to change the Authentication Method from Basic to Organizational?
Hi Anonymous, late to the party, but I came across this thread when I recieved the same error and think I have a solution.
After a lot of messing around, I tried out the whole process on my work Desktop computer, rather than laptop. THe only change that I could percieve between the two is that the Desktop is connected to some kind of Ethernet Network, whereas the laptop was on a different WIFI Network that works for all other access/permissions for work. For whatever reason, I think that moving to the Desktop may have allowed me to slip through a firewall that my company has set up and let me make the changes. It's super strange as I haven't had any issue like that before now, but it's what worked for me. Perhaps changing WIFI or using a VPN may solve this issue for you?
Hopefully this is helpful, maybe you already managed to solve it another way, which would be good to hear about.
Hi, was the issue resolved? I am facing the same issue.
In desktop the credentials works fine but online shows the same error.
Hi everyone!
I'm also having the same problem. I have several pbix using connection to sharepoint files, but only a few pbix gave this problem. I identified that the problem occurs when columns are merged between the sharepoint file with another source.
Unfortunately I didn't find a solution to work around this problem. The only solution was to undo the merge.I'm also having the same problem.
