OneDrive "Web" import is disable

Hello,

in the last few days I'm trying to link a OneDrive Excel file to PowerBI with no success. I've gone through the some microsoft ( such as) officials tutorials as well Curbal's YouTube videos. None of them worked for my case.

 

Something is screeming in my head, that the following message might expose the issue. While following the microsoft tutorial and I get in the Excel file via OneDrive the following message appears:

 

"Links Desabilitados: Não há suporte para links de pastas de trabalho externas e eles foram desabilitados" Which translates to something as:
"Disable Links: There is no support fors links in a extrernal workspace and they were disable"
 
 
Another message that appears me that might help the case is the one that appears when get the file link, when I open the OneDrive file via Excel (which does not have web=1 on the end as the tutorial shows)... and then copy and paste on the Web option of PowerBI. The message is the following, which is translated:

"It is not possible to stablish a connection

We found an error while trying to connect

Details: "The access to the source is prohibited" "

 

Please let me know if you need any other information so we can work together

 

Best regards
