Dataflow - No table show up in Desktop

I have made a dataflow with connection to an Excel table. I try to connect to this table from Desktop but no table show up. I thought this should be an easy thing to do.

    Hi nankerp ,

    It may be because other account used to obtain dataflow data in Power BI Desktop before, and PBD remember and saved the this "other" account. Please clear the permission of this account and sign in with the current account. 

    1. Click Files –> “Options and settings” – “Data source settings”, then find “Power BI Dataflows” in “Global Permission” to clear Permission.

    2. Get data--> Power BI dataflows--> Sign in

    Best Regards

Hi nankerp ,

Whether you are the owner of this dataflow? And the accounts which sign in Power BI Service and Power BI Desktop are same?

Best Regards

Rena

I can confirm that the user in PBS and PBD is the same.
