Credential issue with adding a new data source in Power BI

Cannot add a new data source. It does not like the credentials entered. We have a data source that is working to a SQ DB on another server. Just want to add a file(Excel) as a new data source.

hi, @AlpsAlpine 

You need to download the pbix file and then get data from (Excel) in power bi desktop. 

Then republish the report to power bi service and add a datasource in Manage gateway.

 

Best Regards,

Lin

I get an error when trying to add the gateway. "We could not register this data source for any gateway instances within this cluster."
