Trying to connect to a sharepoint file. But getting the error: Web.BrowserContents only supports anonymous etc..
Connection method: Web
Authorisation type: organisational
I have been able to connect before using this method but seems to not be working due to an update to power query/bi.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @akhaliq7 ,
1. The new version of the Web connector automatically creates a Web.BrowserContents query. Such queries currently support anonymous/Windows/Basic/Web API authentication.
2. Consider Using Web.Page instead of Web.BrowserContents.
Reference: Troubleshooting the Power Query Web connector - Power Query | Microsoft Docs.
3. Consider using SharePoint folder connector.
