Cannot connect to Sharepoint Online List

‎07-11-2022 02:13 AM

Hello everyone,

i have problems using a sharepoint online list as the Data-Source in Power BI

After Selection of the SharePoint Online List as the Data-Source, i get this screen:

when i try to connect i get this message:

A colleque of mine however is able to connect to the sharepoint list without even seeing the above window. Therefore i think the problem maybe lies within my sharepoint account? But i also can connect to an excel file in sharepoint (and do not get this window or have to sign in seperately). Only trying to connect to the sharepoint list itself will trigger this window.
