Refresh: external excel source

Hello,

 

I have an issue with Power Query editor. When I open my Pewer BI Desktop and go to Power Query Editor, each time I see:

 

DataSource.Error: Could not find a part of the path 'T:\_SCH\xxxxxxx.xlsm'.
Szczegóły:

 

When I click few times on "Refresh it works. Then I need to refresh each tables separately. I tried to replace disc name "T" on server name- sill the sam....How can I improve this?

 

Thanks!

    Hi akinom_84 ,

     

    Please click the File->Options and Settings->Data Source Settings to check / Re-enter the file path  as right format carefully .

    Or maybe you need to upgrade your Power BI Desktop to the latest version.

     

    Did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
    If not, please upload some insensitive data samples and expected output.

     

    Best Regards,

  • Eyelyn,

     

    thanks for reply. I replaced source path from letter to full server name and it works.

  • But don't understand why letter doesn't work, if my other/previous build PowerBI applications doesn't have such issue.... 🙂
