I haven't had issues in the past, but this week I was asked to authorize my Smartsheet data connection. When I click to authorize, the page doesn't load. It pops up but no content loads for me to sign in. I updated PBI Desktop but I'm still experiencing the same issue. Next up will be an uninstall/reinstall, but was hoping someone had a quick fix.
Thank you.
Hi @dknipfer ,
Whether Internet Explorer is installed on your computer, Power Bi uses this Web browser by default to log in with your credentials in the background. Smartsheet does not seem to support IE anymore.
You can check the link below to get the solution to the above problem:
