Google Sheet Data Import Problem

When I import data from Google Sheet Via link it gives me error : "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided. Please try again."
My link is "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/FILE_ID/edit"

So please suggest me how to solve that problem

Hii @MHTANK 

 

This error occurs because Power BI cannot authenticate to Google Sheets using a normal browser link (/edit). Power BI does not support Google account authentication through shared URLs. To fix this, either make the Google Sheet public (Anyone with the link >> Viewer) and use the CSV export link (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/FILE_ID/export?format=csv)

via Get Data >> Web, or connect using Get Data >> Google Sheets and sign in with your Google account. Clearing existing Google/Web credentials in Data Source Settings may also be required.
