I can't publish anything to the web, and all my other stuff doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Thank you!
I can give that a shot, how do i try to access connection details?
Open power bi from the start menu or link. Do not open the save file. Once it open you can say get data and cancel. Then go to transform data -> edit connection. Correct the connection used in the other file.
I attempted to do that but nothing seems to have changed.
