I tried to copy and paste the full code you sent and I received the same error message. The message in French says : we could not retrieve the content from [url]. When I click "go to error" it brings me back to the source (see first screenshot). My version of power BI is May2021 : 2.93.982.0 64-bit

    Hi myriam_ouan ,

     

    It appears as thought this is a 407 error caused by failed Proxy Authentication.

    I'm not an expert in this area, but it may be related to your organisation firewall and/or secure VPN proxy server authentication.

    It might help to check with your organisation if they allow browser connections to that URL and, if not, to whitelist it for you.
