SharePoint List Access to resource is forbidden
Hi james_k_apm,
The above error could occur when using wrong log-in option to connect to SharePoint.
If your site is Office365, please enter organizational credential using the third option in the above screenshot. If your site is on premise, use Windows credentials as you mentioned. In addition, make sure that you use the latest version of Power BI Desktop.
For more details about connecting to SharePoint Online list from Power BI Desktop, please review this similar article: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Connect-to-a-SharePoint-List-Power-Query-3226f248-f8b3-4777-82ce-b4ed04dedaaf?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US .
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

Thanks Lydia,
That was all I needed, once I used the Organisational Credentials it went through fine.
Cheers
