Power BI Desktop - Unable to use Get Data
The root cause turns out to have been the presence of an unrelated file in the root of my C drive. I renamed the file I had called "Program", did a repair on Power BI desktop just to be sure, and then everything is working fine. It took a little longer than I would have liked but the MS Power BI team is definitely looking at the feedback they receive through the "send a frown" process.
What OS are you on?
Here is a similar issue with Power Query and the suggestion was to uninstall and reinstall.
I'm using Win 7 x64 Enterprise. I've just uninstalled power bi desktop, unistalled power query, re-downloaded BI desktop just to be sure, and then re-installed but the same issue exists.
Can you please use "Send a Frown" to report this?
I did that Sunday evening and heard from Minh on Tuesday morning. I very quickly answered the basic question on whether or not the error was reproduceable and will hopefully have a follow up soon.
Thanks,
Jason
