Access is Forbidden Web Link
I am trying to bring in a link to an Excel .csv stored in a Sharepoint folder. I go to Get Data-Web then paste the destination link, ending in the file extension ".csv" (removing the ?web=1). But i end up seeing "Unable to connect, We encountered an error while trying to connect. Details: "Access to the resource is forbidden.", giving me the options to Retry, Edit or Cancel. What can i do to resolve this?

v-chenwuz-msft That was not it, it was a permissions issue.
amitchandak Yes, it was a credentials issue. I did not check the Global permissions. I did not sign in through organizational account for the Web.
Anonymous , This is because of the URL link or the credentials. One of these is wrong.

Hi Anonymous ,
You can directly copy the path in the detail of the file on sharepoint.
For more details you can refer this link.
