Power Up Program - Visualize data with Power BI

Can't connect to PowerBI to Dataverse

Posted on by
I’m currently trying to complete the PowerBI Module for The Power Up Program.  I am on stage ‘6. Connect to Students data’ but am having some issues connecting to the dataverse to retrieve data from School Library Solution.
 
When I connect, I put in my credentials and then get taken to a page within the navigator that look similar to the video. However, as soon as I try expand any of the subfolders to access the data as per the directions in the video (in the first instance we're supposed to search for the 'contacts' table), I get an error saying 'we couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided'. I have already ensured that I am logged in to my PowerUp microsoft account rather than my work one.
 
Can anyone help? If I can't connect to the source data then I can't complete the exercises in the module.
 
Thanks

    Occasionally, you may need to enter your credentials more than once.
    If that happens, try selecting Sign in as a different user and use your Power Up student account again.
