URL in Data Source Credential

Hi all,

 

My powerbi reporet failed to schedule refresh on the service.

 

The issue was that I had updated the URL on the PBI desktop but the service is showing the old URL.

 

Is there any way to correct it?

 

Regards

Yatz

Thanks Xiaoxin for the feedback.

 

Republished the report again but still the old URL and error came out.

 

Also created a seperate new report with the issue data source only and does not work too.

 

The URL is a live web content on a json doc.
