Hi, @Quest 

 

Someone updated the reply under this issue, and you can test if it works.

Just a quick followup, after troubleshooting it turns out only SharePoint datasources without HTTPS at the begining were displaying the error. Adding https:// to the start of my SharePoint datasources has resolved the issue. Hope this helps.

And If that will not cover your case you could open a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free. Go to https://support.powerbi.com. Scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET".
