Google Sheet Connector Data Source Credentials Error

[Anonymous]

Every few hours when I do an automatic refresh in PBI Service from a Google Sheet, my refresh fails. However, when I go back in and reset the credentials in the Power BI Service, then the next manual refresh will work. Is there a way to get the credentials to "stick" and continue working? It does not even make me sign in using my password each time, it just opens the window and I click on my account. Unfortunately, it is not letting me use an "anonymous" connection method, even though my Google Sheets link is set up with public viewing.

The problem should be fixed, Have you upgraded the desktop version to the latest?

If you have problems, You'd better create a post and describe the situation fully.

I believe this issue is fixed now. My refreshes work with the Google Sheet connector, and organizational-level privacy settings. Thank you!

I have the same issue. I have a dataset that was working ok, and as soon as I added the Google Sheets datasource, the automatic refresh stopped working. 

Same behaviour, if I re-enter the credentials, it works once, and fails after that.

Hi @Anonymous 

I think that it does require a connection even though you have made it public.

I would suggest looking at your google authentication settings to make sure that it is not set to expire after a certain period?

How would I do this? Is this on the google side (in my google account) or in Power BI?
