Excel Datasource stopping Scheduled Refresh
I have set up a scheduled refresh which was working , however once I added in an excel spreadsheet as a datasource , I am getting the below error
"Your data source can't be refreshed because the credentials are invalid . Please update your credentials and try again"
here it prompts me to edit credentials but none will work. The excel spreadsheet is on a local folder and is marked as exclude from refresh on the dataset .
Anyone know what is causing this ?

Hi,
Which path are you using?
You should be using network share "\\myshare\documents\" not local path "C:\User\Documents".
See this docs under 'Considerations and limitations'
