error The process cannot access the file.. it is being used by another process

Hi

i have a local excel file with power query (i am using the excel file for power BI)

all is working ok.

now i am trying to move this file to the share point and when i am changing the Data source  in the power quary to the new location (using the same excel) i am getting the error message : The process cannot access the file.. it is being used by another process.. like a cannot working with power quary when the file is on Share point..

 

thank you

    I got the same issue, I was using same folder for multiple query. I turned off parallel loading in power Bi options. It will load one table at once... and it works for me.

  • oren , what method you have used to change the source.

     

    Ceated a new correction using sharepoint. Open Power Query -> Right click on table -> Open advance editor -> Take the related code and replace it in advance editor of old table code
