hi ,
i am try to refresh the query in power and this popped up.
I have access to the data folder . i tried all the option but nothing works.
Anyone know why ?
thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @ktt777 ,
This maybe a permission/authentication error. When you ever connect to your data source in an unauthorized account, the corresponding credential would be created. You may need to change credential, go to “File –> Options and Settings –> Data Source Settings”, under “Global permissions”, select old data source connections and click on Edit permission in Power BI Desktop, then connect to it and check if it is successful.
I have also found similar posts, please refer to.
