    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    The video from RADACAD is very straight forward.

     

    You are getting Not Found error, that means Power BI cannot find this file to your one-drive location.

     

    Is your One Drive and Power BI credentials point to same account?

    Login to your one drive, navigate to the path that you are trying to access in PBI and check whether your file exists there or not?

     

    Thanks,

    Pragati

      Hi Pragati11 yes onedrive and power bi use the same account.

       

      Yes if I go to onedrive I can see the file. If I enter the file url into the browser the excel file opens.
