I am unable to connect my data to cost management app even after providing the enrolment number.

Is it something to have with the access level which my account holds or is it something to have with the storage account credentials or secret keys for blobs

Error:

ailed to update data source credentials: The credentials provided for the AzureBlobs source are invalid. (Source at https://ccmstorageprod.blob.core.windows.net/costmanagementconnector-data/AutofitComboMeterData.csv.)Hide details

    Hello Shubham,

    The reason you are getting this error "The credentials provided for the AzureBlobs source are invalid" is because you change the authentication method for your data source connection.

    In order to fix this, after you enter your EA enrollment and number of months, make sure that you leave the default value of Anonymous for Authentication method and None for the Privacy level setting:

    Screenshot shows the Connect to Cost Management App dialog box with Anonymous and None values entered.

    More information can be found here: [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/analyze-cost-data-azure-cost-management-power-bi-template-app#invalid-credentials-for-azureblob-error

    I hope this helps.

    Shubham Jaiswal Based on the error message : It seems like you changed the authentication method for the AutoFitComboMeter blob connection.

    1. After you enter your EA enrollment and number of months, make sure that you leave the default value of Anonymous for Authentication method and None for Privacy setting and then Sign in--Don't worry, you'll have secure authentication in a moment.
    2. On the next page, you should have OAuth2 set for Authentication method and None set for Privacy level. Sign in to authenticate with your enrollment. It also starts a data refresh in Power BI.

    If you follow these steps, it fails to sign in as shown below.
