Refresh: external excel source

Hello,

 

I have an issue with Power Query editor. When I open my Pewer BI Desktop and go to Power Query Editor, each time I see:

 

DataSource.Error: Could not find a part of the path 'T:\_SCH\xxxxxxx.xlsm'.
Szczegóły:

 

When I click few times on "Refresh it works. Then I need to refresh each tables separately. I tried to replace disc name "T" on server name- sill the sam....How can I improve this?

 

Thanks!

Hi @akinom_84 ,

 

Please click the File->Options and Settings->Data Source Settings to check / Re-enter the file path  as right format carefully .

Or maybe you need to upgrade your Power BI Desktop to the latest version.

But don't understand why letter doesn't work, if my other/previous build PowerBI applications doesn't have such issue.... 🙂

@akinom_84  I guess the troble you are facing because you are importing data from xlsm (macro enabled files).  Please refer to below links for solution
