but still having similar issue as mentioned in this

What else I could do to debug/fix this?

Is it possible that some configrations at organisation level that prevent Power BI access OneDrive file?

 

Thanks

Hi @j_w ,

Based on my test, it might be caused that you didn't sign in the organizational account. Please try to follow the steps.

  • 1. Click File->Options and Settings->Data source settings->clear your previous permission.
