Unable to use Windows Authentication
Hi,
In PowerBI desktop I made a dashboard using a web feed.
I connect via Windows authentication.
But after publishing I want to schedule the refresh interval and also set the authentication for this, but i can't choose Windows authentication here.
Am I doing something wrong? Or am I missing something?

Thanks, but if i choose for Anonymous i receive the message that it cannot be verified with the specified credentials.

What kind of website are you pulling data from? You need to login there?

It is a rest api. In the browser i must also login with my Windows credentials. (There is no API key available)

have you tried putting in your credentials in the basic authentication? It is possible that none of the standard auth methods will work and you need to do it in the Power Query / M code

Yes, i tried it with no success.
I am not a very experienced user. So I have no idea how to do that with Power Query. Can I find a manual or instruction for this online? Or can you explain that clearly?
