Hi all,
I have a number of connections (using Web Connection) to a number of Sharepoint 2007 lists in my organisation.
this has been working perfectly for approx 6months.
I have installed the march update this morning & now these connections donot work & I cannot refresh my dataset.
I get an error stating that the URL is not valid
has anyone else seen an issue since updating to March?
Hi @Merchy2401,
According to your description above, I just verified that I don't have this issue when connect sharepoint list with the latest version of Power BI Desktop(Version: 2.56.5023.942 64-bit (March 2018)).
Have you tried rolling back to the previous version of Power BI Desktop to see if it works or not?
In addition, if the issue persists, I would suggest you create a support ticket on Power BI Support page for better assistance. ![]()
Regards
Hi, thanks for the response..
yes I have now rolled back to Jan 2018 and the connections all work fine again with no amendment.
When using the March 2018 version, I couldnt even create a new report with a new connection to SP2007..
Im using the web connection, then using the sharepoint URL.
I usually finds the sharepoint list contents as a table & I can import into BI from there... all good, but not in theMarch version I have..
I will report it as you suggest & try again in April 🐵
