Power BI Desktop - Get Data - Access Denied
Get Data is returning access denied. Even happens when I try to load excel spreadsheet from my hard drive. I have the trace file. Sent it to microsoft but no reply. please help
To get data from Excel, it supposed to use current Windows user account. In my opinion, you need to make sure you can open Excel in hard drive firstly. Please use process monitor to find which process is locked.
