    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.
