My guess is that the problem is based on the "Address" used in the Power BI file. Even though both of you have access to the file, he might not have access using the address you put into the file. The address that you have shared with your college is probably not the same as the address you have used in your file.
I'd attempt changing the address, do a close and apply. Publish back into the service and see.
Thanks you, however what do you mean by address?
Hi LCarenzo
The "One Drive" is it on a local machine if so then you will need a Power bi Gateway installed.
If you guys are using One Drive for business then no need for the Gateway but you have to make sure of the way you connect to one drive through Power BI desktop. Here is a video to explain it
Note that One Drive for business is backed by Sharepoint Folder therefore you must use Sharepoint Folder connector.

Thank you all, this makes perfect sense. However, I am brining in an entire folder, is there a work around to enter the path in for a folder vs. a sheet?

When i originally did get data, I picked folder from the list, which brings in every excel file in the folder and basically appends them.
