You are either putting in the URL for the list instead of the site URL OR you didn't select Microsoft Account and sign in with your O365 credentials when prompted to log into the site.

 

Thanks!

    Hi Treb,

     

    Thanks for your reply.

     

    I have tried putting both URL for the list and site, but I have got the error the same way.

    When I set the URL for the list, an error 404 is displayed; 

    When I set the URL for the site, an error is displayed telling me that the URL is not valid.

     

    Also, I have checked that I am signed on both Power BI and Sharepoint accounts.

     

    If you have any other suggestion, that would be great. 

     

    Thank you !

      Is this SharePoint Online?

        Yes, it is.
