Hi everyone,
Can you please help me to solve this problem,
After I updated Powerbi to May 2022, My Local Network folder connection failed.
I have a folder connection in the local network shared folder to combine some similar excel data.
I also tried this scheme using office 365, but it failed to load.
Thank you for your answer, detail my problem as follow:
1. All connections using Folder.file (sharefolder) --> is super slow & failed to load. This issue happened on PowerBI & Excel 365 but still working on excel 2019.
2. Connection using one excel file in the same drive (local network) --> is working
3. Connection folder in local drive is no issue.
@Anonymous , if this failing on desktop, Open power query and check for location or edit dataset setting once and try
if the refresh is failing on service, then check if on-premise gateway is working
Also, check if some issue is reported https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues
