Add tables from an existing source

Hi all,

 

I have a Power BI file created and the source is an Excel file in a Sharepoint folder. When I connected the source there were 14 tables and all imported correctly but I have now added more tables to the source.

 

I am trying to connect to the source again to add the "new" tables from the spreadsheet bu I am now getting this error. Is this a Sharepoint error or a Power BI desktop error?

@BarryFletcher It is technically a permissions error and web browser error. It is saying that you first need to add the site to your Trusted Sites in Edge most likely.

This is a SharePoint authentication issue, not a Power BI error.

 

Fix:

In Power BI → File > Options and Settings > Data Source Settings.

Select your SharePoint source → Clear Permissions.

Reconnect → choose Organizational Account to log in.
