Cannot enter credentials/login issue to retrieve data from excel online

In order to retrieve data from an excel file that is uploaded on a sharepoint site, Power BI asks me to login/enter credentials to access the file.

I go to file-> data source settings-> edit permissions-> choose organization account. Then a popup shows for a quick moment and then dissapears without getting the chance to login (I suppose it is the emerging window to enter credentials). 

See attached image showing thet windows I came across.

 

Red mark shows the button I press before the popup windows appears (then suddenly dissapears without logging in)

 

  • TPista , First use clear permission.

    If needed also do this setting,

     

    Go to File-> Options and settings -> Options -> Security Option -> and check : Use My Default browser( Visible after scroll)

    if needed, clear the cache of the default browser
