access_denied: AADSTS65005: The application 'Microsoft Power Query for Excel' asked for scope 'user_
alex Frelis69 dverliefden,
I have reported this issue internally. Will post back once I get any updates.
Regards,

I have been having the same issue since yesterday - can't seem to find anything useful online.
If this were something that we could control, I would expect the error to say that the action is not permitted rather than reporting that the scope is unavailable. It almost feels like a feature in Azure AD or Office 365 has been removed!
I have logged a support request with the Azure AD team so will see what they say.
Update - when I look at the Azure AD admin portal, I can see an authentication failure when I try to connect to the Office 365 mailbox from Power BI. The source application is 'Microsoft Power Query for Excel' (as expected).
The failure reason is listed as:
The application required resource access list does not contain applications discoverable by the resource or The client application has requested access to resource, which was not specified in its required resource access list or Graph service returned bad request or resource not found. If the application supports SAML, you may have configured the application with the wrong Identifier (Entity). Try out the resolution listed for SAML using the link below: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/application-sign-in-problem-federated-sso-gallery?/?WT.mc_id=DMC_AAD_Manage_Apps_Troubleshooting_Nav#no-resource-in-requiredresourceaccess-list.
I am not running the very latest version of Power BI (I'm one version behind) so will update and see if that resolves the issue, but I don't expect it to.
The same problem here. I have noticed yesterday and problem still persists today. I am running the latest version of Power BI Desktop. I have tried September 2017 version of PBI Desktop and the same result. So I guess it is not a problem of the last PBI Desktop update.
Does anyone have any clue please?
I have found that if you publish the report to the Power BI web app, and refresh the data in the web app you get a different result in Azure AD:
Each line in this log relates to a different activity:
Microsoft Power BI - logging into the Desktop application (not refreshing data, just logging in to the application)
Microsoft Power Query for Excel - this authentication attempt is triggered (and fails) every time you try to refresh data in the report by connecting to the O365 mailbox
Power BI Data Refresh - this authentication attempt occurs when you refresh the dataset in the Power BI web app. This shows as successful in Azure AD, and successful in the Power BI web app but the data isn't actually updated!
So this seems to be specific to the 'Microsoft Power Query for Excel' app. I'm surprised there aren't more people experiencing this issue.
I have pasted the error from Azure AD associated with the authentication failure, but here it is for completeness:
The application required resource access list does not contain applications discoverable by the resource or The client application has requested access to resource, which was not specified in its required resource access list or Graph service returned bad request or resource not found. If the application supports SAML, you may have configured the application with the wrong Identifier (Entity). Try out the resolution listed for SAML using the link below: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/application-sign-in-problem-federated-sso-gallery?/?WT.mc_id=DMC_AAD_Manage_Apps_Troubleshooting_Nav#no-resource-in-requiredresourceaccess-list.
Azure AD error code 65005.
Hi everybody!
Try to disable Power Query add-in, restart Excel and re-enable the add-in.
This worked for me.
Cheers!
