Error refreshing Power BI Report: "Could not find a part of the path"

Hello everybody,

My team has a Power BI report saved on our shared drive. We overwrite two Excel files used in a daily report which are also on our shared drive in the same folder as the Power BI report. This is where the data is being sourced. I can refresh the report with no errors. However, when my teammate tries to refresh the report on her computer, she is getting the following error:

Please let me know if there is anything I could provide.

Hi ninos-shiba

I see you use absolute path which start from disk I name. Im sure its a mapped diskand its label may be different for different user.

So, first of all, I highly recommend to use network path for data source like \\share\directory...

do not hesitate to give a kudo to useful posts and mark solutions as solution
