Hi all
We have an Excel pivot that is connected to an OLAP Cube using msmdpump and basic authentication. When we create the connection it works fine, but as soon as the workbook is saved and re-opened, we are unable to interact with the pivot or refresh the data. All other users are experiencing the same problem.  Errors we are getting:

Answer "Yes" and enter password and then error:

The connection to datasource works if it is a new connection, but have to recreate the file every time. Office 365.
Also tried interacting with the pivot on re-opening without refreshing the data, but that results in the same error messages. Thanks

Zelda
