Access SharePoint Site with Different Credentials
Greg_Deckler Thanks for your reply. I noticed that when accessing the SharePoint site through Power BI desktop, I get the option to sign in with different credentials. However, I am still not able to connect for some reason. I have included two screenshots. One shows the error I get when trying to access the SharePoint site online. The other shows the error I get when I use my different credentials in the desktop application. I know those credentials work because I have accessed this SharePoint site as a mapped network drive. The SharePoint is 2007 if that has to do with anything?12
mathysbt, I just saw Anonymous's reply in my notification feed to this thread and reread it. I seem to have missed a key element. Yes, the site being SharePoint 2007 probably has everything to do with it. 2007 only supported WCF, not OData, OData was introduced in 2010. I would be highly surprised if you could connect to a SharePoint 2007 list using Power BI. I'd try it, but I don't have an environment to test with. I upgraded them all! :(
Greg_Deckler Anonymous That makes sense. I'll just have to wait until we upgrade haha. Thanks for your help!
