Please clear global permission from option and setting. When ask for permission, use annonymous permission. 

You can download my file using the below link:

I've done that I'm afraid, and it still says Expression.Error: Access to the resource is forbidden.

    Have you tried using the uploaded file, and does it still show the same error? It is a free source and annonymous authentication works for me.

     

    Try to update power bi to the latest version. If still this problem exist, then go to the following path :

     

    "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop"

    and try renaming User.zip to User1.zip. This will clear all previous user logins caches and will create a new user folder.

    Hope this solve your problem!!

    If, please mark it as a solution!!
