    Hi dandurocher ,

     

    When you opened it in Power BI Desktop, please go to Data source settings and check or edit your permission of SharePoint to make sure it's correct and up to date.

     

                                                                                                                                                             

    Best Regards,

I'm experiencing a similar issue when using power query within excel to connect to sharepoint.  My connection to sharepoint exists but I just can't see recently created folders.  I was reeeeaaaally  hoping the same solution would work here but editing permissions in data source settings hasn't helped.  I've also tried clearing the cache within excel and that didn't help either.  Anyone got any bright ideas?

 

To be clear my permissions in sharepoint are unchanged and I can access the files fine in Sharepoint.

Hi , why dont you just copy the exact path of the file you need and open it directly?
