Power BI Reports Refresh - Excel File saved in Common One Drive

Hi,

I am unable to refresh Power BI reports saved on One Drive. 

Refresh works completely fine with the server connection to get the data.

The issue is with the Excel file saved in One Drive.

Referesh happens with only one System User linked with the report.

 

I get the below error:

My System/User Login is as below.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Johnny

Hi,

You have to load data using SharePoint folder option.

Otherwise it will only allow to refresh dataset to the person who created it.
