I have created a dashboard but now want to have a live connection to my data source in excel. I have saved the excel as a one drive and am now trying to change the data source to make the connection. When doing this I am getting the error code 'We couldn't authenticate your details' when trying to apply the changes. I have about 4 credentials to chose from but all come back with the same error. Any advise would be must appreciated. Thanks!!
