Hi guys,
Yesterday i created a pbix file local in my desktop and used excel files as sources which located in our Sharepoint map location. During the load at the first time all the files were successfully imported in pbix file.
The chosen method for getting this files through my PBI file was:
- Get Data
- Web
Today i open the same pbix file and wanted to edit some querys in some tables but get the following message on every querys :
This are the files from our Sharepoint location:
This is screenshot if i click on Go to Error from powerBI desktop
This is the URL part from one of the using file :
So my wish is to edit querys but as you can see i am stuck with this error. Any suggestions or solution?
Many thanks,

Can you confirm that the excel still exists in that path in your sharepoint site? What is going on when you open that excel link in a web browser, I've got a 404 error in browser. If the files still exists in the sharepoint site, can you re-try to get data from that excel the way as the yesterday?
