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
I have similar issue with the erros "Access to the resource is forbidden".
I was sucesfully using Power BI connected to the Sharepint folder (for 3 weeks) and yesterday I've opend Power BI desktop and after refreshing my Dashboard I've received this error.
I was trying to fix it by changing the microsoft password (it was suppose to expire in 11 days). I also logged in with organizational account and tried windows account as well. I even downloaded the newest version of Power BI Desktop. Nothing helped. The error occures while trying to refresh the data.
I'm the owner of this SharePoint folder.
I would appreciate any support in this matter!
