Web Content - Access Method - WWW-Authenticate header doesn't contain a valid authorization URI
Many thanks Pranay, that worked for me.
For others, I've created a more detailed Step-bystep guide. Note this is for connecting to Forms and assumes you have SharePoint online:
- Go to SharePoint and create a site, I called mine My Forms
- Go back to Forms scroll to the bottom of the page, click on All My Forms on right hand side
- On the form you need you notice an ellipsis (…) at bottom right, click on move to Group
- You should see your recently created site, select it and the form will move to that area
- Go back to your Forms landing page and you'll see your form, now when you click on it & go to responses choose Open in Excel
- From Excel online, go to File | Info | Open in Desktop App - this will download a copy.
- From the copy go to File | Info | Copy Path E.g., https://mysharepoint.sharepoint.com/sites/MyForms/Shared%20Documents/NameOfForm.xlsx?web=1
- Now in Power BI create a new query, this time from Web and paste in the content from your clipboard | IMPORTANT Remove the ?web=1 part
- You may need to sign in again, but this time you should see the content of your form, which will go on to include any new responses.
Hello MaryF,
Thank you for this super clear guide. I tried it out and do not receive the same connection error but I dont see the values in the table anymore. Did I miss something in the URL content that would allow me to get the content of the forms?
Thanks for your help 🙂
Hi there LPE
When you download the workbook (as per step 6) was there data in that file? Also did you remove the ?web=1 from the end of the URL? If yes to both, then I can't see why you don't see it via Power BI. Sorry I can't be of more help.
MaryHello Mary,
Thank you for your answer! I missed a step, but now it works perfectly!
Thanks for your precious input!
