Hi michael163 ,

 

What's your data source? SharePoint folder, SharePoint Online List or SharePoint list?

 

 

Best regards

      Hi michael163 ,

       

      Is the site url when connecting typed like this: https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite？

      If not, please change it.

      If it is, please try to

      • clear the data source permission and re-connect to it;
      • upgrade Power BI Desktop to the latest version: 2.87.1061.0.

       

       

       

      In addition, is this the case for all reports where the data source is SharePoint Online?

       

       

       

      Best regards

      Icey

        Hi Icey , I did everything you said:

        - updated PBI

        - cleared and reconnected permissions

        - I already had the name right

         

        However I still get the same result

         

        Addition: I have similar cca 10 apps running with sharepoin connection and everything besides this one works correctly.
