Version: 2.56.5023.1021 64-bit (March 2018) - March 19, 2018 - seems to have fixed this! :smileyhappy:
Thank You! :smileyhappy:
Update at:

I am encountering the same issue as described above with Reubenjac's IMDB link
My actual issue is with a different https: url
My file updates every monday - last monday the 5th (before the update) all was fine :smileyhappy:
but now 12th (after update) I just got this message - the url must be valid etc.... :smileysad:
Well the url is working - opens fine in any browser! (Firefox, Edge, Chrome)
Regretfully I just cleaned my Downloads folder and can't revert to any previous PBI versions to test in those
After last month's "&" ordeal I still deleted all older versions - should have kept at least 1 backup working PBI version
MarcelBeugImkeFany ideas/suggestions as always will be greatly appreciated :smileyhappy:
In PBI this is what happens with Reubenjac's link http://www.imdb.com/chart/top
In Excel Power Query on the other hand all seems fine... with both my link and the IMDB link...
Thanks! :smileyhappy:
Hi Sean,
this link works for me: http://www.imdb.com/chart/top (although it takes quite some time).
Please clear your cache and try again.
Cheers, Imke
Hi Sean,
just recognized that I was using an old version. I'm now getting the same error as you, so it's pretty likely that this is a bug unfortunately.
ImkeF- Thank You for confirming! Yes I've not been able to refresh in both March 2018 Versions they've released so far!
2.56.5023.861 - March 7 and
2.56.5023.942 - March 12
Both don't work and say URL is Invalid!
MFelix- Thank you for the link!
Indeed I can confirm now that after downgrading to the Feb 2018 version I was able to Refresh the Data
(the link was to the PBI version that had the "&" Issue so I had to move the file to a temp folder and then open and refresh)
However the data refresh happens with no problem in the Feb 2018!
Then I updated again to the latest and Issue is again there but at least I got the newest data in the PBIX I needed!
Hope they fix this soon! :smileyhappy:
I experience the same problem on all my computers with the latest PowerBI installed. Untill two weeks ago I had no problems loading two separate web links, now I get the "The supplied URL must be a valid 'http:' or 'https:' URL." error.
Hope this gets fixed soon.
