    Connecting to a SharePoint Online List.

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

    Edit Credentials, options are:

    Windows
    OAuth2

    Choose OAuth2, sign into O365, spins on the Authentication method dialog.

    Other reports connected to other SharePoint Online Lists are still working. This problem BI report was updated using the January release of Desktop.

    We are having the same issue scheduling an automatic refresh of a SharePoint Online spreadsheet in PowerBI web. The report was created in the Feb 2017 version of PowerBI desktop version 2.43.4647.541.

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

    We are having the same issue, but using Azure Storage Tables as the Datasource, when refreshing from the Web Experience.
    We get the following error: "Your data source can't be refreshed because the credentials are invalid. Please update your credentials and try again."

    We have checked the credentials, and they work fine from Storage Explorer and such.
