Using someone else's credentials
Hi dave_cousins That error message is never very helpful 🙂
What I would suggest is using the maanger's credential in Power BI desktop and making sure the data loads in Power Query and each step of the query works.
I haven't yet overcome this.
An indivudal of the team 'shared' a specific spreadsheet from their folder with me as 'read only' - which permitted me to access it, but it didn't retrieve all the data (I suspect because it couldn't recalculate the cell formulae). When he then gave me 'edit' and 'execute' and 'delete' rights, it was able to retrieve all the data.
Still trying.
