Excel Document from Sharepoint - Access Denied

All, another in the saga of excel from sharepoint. I'm attempting to pull data from an excel sheet in a sharepoint folder, but I'm being met with an "Access Denied" window. 

 

I've attempted, as best I can to follow the directions here:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Import-Data-from-an-Excel-sheet-in-SharePoint/m-p/203700#M11228

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Cannot-link-a-Sharepoint-Excel-file-to-Desktop-PowerBI/m-p/581294#M275030

 

Including the method where you pull the excel down in desktop and fine the url via the doc info.

 

I'm at a total loss. 

 

Any ideas?

  • Hi Anonymous,

     

    Please check if you have installed the latest version of Power BI Desktop ( 2.66.5376.1681).

     

    If not, please update it and test again. By my test with this new version, everything works as expected.

     

    If it still have problem , please create a new pbix file and clear the Permission the data source of SharePoint you used before under Edit Queries>> Data source setting>>Global Permissions>> find the sharepoint source >> Clear Permissions.

     

    Then you could get data again.

     

    Best Regards,
