Connecting Microsoft Form to Power BI

Hello, 

 

I'm trying to connect my microsoft form data to Power BI, i tried following this tutorial : Easiest Way to Connect to Microsoft Forms Data in Power BI - BI Elite and my URL does the same thing as in the tutorial (downloading the excel file associated to my form's answers). 

But i'm getting the following errors when i try to connect to the web content :

I tried editing and deleting the credentials but it doesn't change the error, do you know where it might be coming from ?

 

Best regards, 

MD

If your form is linked to a M365 group, it will sync your data to an Excel file in the linked SharePoint site that you can connect directly to in PBI. I have a video on how to do this here: https://youtu.be/HgFGyBbpMCA

 

If your Form isn't currently associated with a group, you can associate it with one in the Forms web app.

I have the same problem. Has anyone found a fix for this? Thank you.

No fix but afterall I'm happy with the workaround storing responses in a SharePoint list. Gave me the opportunity to correct some mistakes respondents made.

This is still an issue. I hope it gets resolved soon.

@farbelow I had to implement a workaround. Created a SharePoint list plus a Power Automate cloud flow that runs when a new response is received. Responsedata is now stored in the SharePoint list which I use as datasource in Power BI.

This use to work for me, but now I'm getting the same error message.  I need help too.

Exactly same over here. Haven't found a solution yet. Too bad this doesn't work anymore.
