Sharepoint connection error
Hi All,
I have a problem with connection to the organizational sharepoint site.
I want to use an online file as a datasource, but I cannot access that.
I get different types of errors, I do not know what to do with that.
When I am trying to use sharepoint list I am getting this kind of error:
Details: "Microsoft.Mashup.Engine1.Library.Resources.HttpResource: Request failed: OData Version: 3 and 4, Error: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. (Not Found) OData Version: 4, Error: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. (Not Found) OData Version: 3, Error: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. (Not Found)"
Right now when I am trying to connect it via WEB datasource, I am getting an error message:
Details: "Access to the resource is forbidden."
even if in the data sources settings I have mine organizational credentials with the type 'Organizational' or 'Private'.
Could someone help me with this issue?

Hi V-lianl-msft
I was able to connect power bi with mine folder in sharepoint, but right now I am not able to figure out how to load a file from this folder. All the data looks like one table, but I have lots of excel files in my folder and I am thinking how can I access one of them and load it into pbi.
Could you give me a hint about that?

Hi V-lianl-msft ,
update - I am able to open the excel file in powerbi from sharepoint, it was successfully done by me.Right now there is another problem - I would like to make a refresh schedule, I was able to set it in manage section in power bi report server, but while trying to test connection in data sources tab, after using 'Test connection' button I got an error:
The report server couldn't connect to the data source using the information you entered. Make sure you've entered the connection string and any credentials correctly.
Hide error detailsSharePoint: Request failed: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.
For both authentication types - anonymous and windows credentials, I am not able to connect to the datasource.
Could you help me with it?

Tomasz
