Final answer:
To fix the 'OAuth authentication method isn't supported for this data source' message in Power BI, check if the data source supports OAuth and that you've configured it properly in Power BI. If not, use an alternative supported authentication method or consult the data source provider for help.
Step-by-step explanation:
To fix the message The OAuth authentication method isn't supported for this data source in Power BI, it is important to understand that OAuth is a protocol used for authorization which might not be supported by all data sources in Power BI. A common way to address this issue is to check the data source to confirm if it does support OAuth. If it does, make sure you have properly configured the data source for OAuth authentication in Power BI.
If the data source does not support OAuth, you will need to use a different authentication method that is supported, such as Basic (username and password), Windows (integrated), or an API key, depending on what the data source supports.
Here are the steps you might take to resolve the issue:
- Check the documentation for the data source to confirm if it supports OAuth.
- Ensure that you have correctly set up the OAuth credentials in Power BI.
- Look for alternative authentication methods that your data source supports.
- Consult with your data source provider for any specific configuration settings required.
- If necessary, seek support from the Power BI community or contact support for further guidance.
Remember to check for updates or patches that might add OAuth support or fix related issues. Ensuring that both Power BI and the data source are using the latest versions can sometimes resolve compatibility issues.
