"Could not find a part of the path" error while editing Data Source Credentials

I am working on edx Lab 4 tutorials "Power BI Service".When I try to schedule refresh my dataset I got the following error 

"Your data source can't be refreshed because the credentials are invalid. Please update your credentials and try again".

 

When I click on "Edit Credntials" link next to excel file then click on sign In, it gave me the following error .(Please see the screenshot in attached link) Error Screenshot.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

 

Can you provide the download link for the ACCESS database - "PowerBI.accdb"? I am trying to follow the tutorial, but couldn't get the sample database

 

Thanks.

For future reference...

I had the same problem and it is solved now. You see that in the lab there are three data sources:

1. C:\DAT207x\Country Population by Year.xlsx

2. C:\DAT207x\PowerBI.accdb

3. Folder C:\DAT207x\International

 

You just have to make sure that all three of these exist on local drive. 

At the very beginning of the course you are required to download it. 

My problem was that these filese resided in a different location.

@rdogadin: This Works!! Thanks for laying it out so clearly. 

Thank you, this worked for me

Hi, I am trying to migrate my BI file onto a virtual machine so I can schedule refreshes. I now get this error too.  I want to update data from my Onedrive, which is where I typically store my files, but have the pbix on the remote server. Is there something special I need to do for this?
