I have problems when updating an excel file, a problem appears as in the picture. So far, I have updated the same table dozens of times, but suddenly this problem appeared that I cannot solve, I would like to ask for your help,
thanks a lot.
I managed to reconnect the connection, but now I have a problem, the data will not update, when the refresh is done, everything works as it should, but the data remains the same. before that, I properly updated the data on excel, saved the file and did a refresh in Power bi, the connection is now working but it won't load new or different data that has been prepared, please help. thanks a lot
Hi @Nikolakoka ,
Is the 'include in report refresh' option checked?

Hi @Nikolakoka ,
Are you refreshing your data on the Desktop? Where are your data source files saved?
I suspect that for some reason (such as being replaced) the identity code of the data source file has changed, try editing the data source and filling in the network path of the latest data source file. You can refer to Snehalg150's reply under this thread.
Network path of excels not found
