Fix this error: "The given data source kind is not supported. Data source kind: CurrentWorkbook"

[Anonymous]

I want to automate refreshes in a workbook that references the output of a previous query to accomplish a specific scenario but was shocked to discover the Power BI Service cannot schedule refreshes for workbooks that...reference the workbook. Really hoping this gets fixed as this is a major blocker for certain kinds of workbooks.

Hi @Anonymous, 

How did you get the workbook into the Power BI service, import or upload? 

Did this workbook connects to another Excel workbook? Did these two workbook's locate in local drive?

@v-qiuyu-msft, thank you for posting.

I used Connect in the Power BI Service, and all of the referenced files are stored in my OneDrive for Business account. The queries in the workbook do connect to other workbooks, but the error message indicates this is due to the Service's inability to reference the Current Workbook.
