Desktop Power BI Refreshing Failure

When I tried to refresh desktop BI which datasource is the sharepoint, the refreshing was cancelled by showing message "OLE DB or ODBC error: Container unexpectedly exited. Exit code: 0xE4210002. An unexpected exception occurred.“ If I send the BI to someone else to run, then it canbe refreshed sucessfully.

Hello @amitchandak , thank you for your reply. I can refresh the published BI so it's not the access or internet issue. I change the data load setting as beelow and then it works. Thank you.

@Yulin_Gao , Few reason I can think of 

1. You do not have access to the source now. Try to connect again, try the Edit Data Source setting under Transform Data 

2. Temporary internet issue at you end  

3. Old Power BI Version or missing Windows update some time give this type of issues
