Connection to SharePoint fails

Hi,

 

My Power BI has recently stopped connecting to my SharePoint.

I definitely have all rights in the SharePoint.


I have tried the following scenarios and got these results:

 

1. log in via SharePoint Connector with organization account and root URL
I get an empty display/table.

 

 

2. access SharePoint via Web Content Connector with organization account
Error message: "Authentication could not be performed with the specified credentials. Please try again."

 

 

3. delete the permissions in data source settings and specify them again. (all correct)
Error message: "Connection not possible: Access to the resource is prohibited".

 

 

4. entire URL to SharePoint folder specified
Error message: "Connection not possible: Not found - Microsoft.Mashup.Engine1.Library.Resources.HttpResource:"

 


What is strange is that in an older PowerBI report, the connection works. I once deleted the permissions in the data source settings and granted them again. Everything works here and Power BI gets the right data.

 

What can I do? Please help.

 

Thanks.
