SOS - How to retrieve data source

Hi guys, 

 

Can you please help me? I have developed a mini dashboard with power BI but now it does not work anymore and pops up the following error:

 

Web.Contents failed to get contents from 'https://enterprise-my.sharepoint.com/personal/rodrigo_lemos_enterprise_com/_api/web/getfilebyserverr...' (404): Not Found

 

 

The only thing I did was:

1. Changed to Power BI pro

2. Changed the name of the folder 

 

So I tried to edit the source and put the web address again (from a folder with the excel files) but still does not work. I am afraid I lost everything. Any clue on what to do?

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

 

If I understand your scenario correctly that you used to have pro trail and create a report with the data source (a folder with the excel files) from SharePoint and now you have Pro license and change the folder name in SharePoint, but the report pop up an error?

 

How do you get the data source? SharePoint Folder or SharePoint Online list?

 

In addition, if you get the data with the data source which you have changed the folder name, will you have this error?

Hi @v-piga-msft

 

Yes thats the issue!

 

 I am updating the files on the Onedrive  folder but as it is also in the sharpoint online I believe it is the same.

 

I tried to change again to the pervious one but ther error remains.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

How do you connect with the data source? SharePoint Folder or SharePoint Online list?

HI @v-piga-msft

 

It is through sharepoint/onedrive

 

It is solved now, I have figured out that the problem was because one column name was duplicated and was affecting all the other tables 😮

 

Thanks a lot for your support
