Hi all,
First of all, I apologize if I post in the wrong forum.
I'm currently experiencing an issue at my workplace regarding accessing our Power BI dataset through Excel.
The following two combinations doesn't work as expected, however I do see the "From Power BI"-button and the domain is correct as well:
In both cases when I click "From Power BI" I get the following error:
The weird thing is that I can perfectly export the Power BI dataset to Excel through Power BI Service with no issues at all and the connection will work like a charm. So the question is: how can I fix this, so my users will get easier access to our Power BI dataset in Excel?
TL;DR: I can't access my Power BI dataset directly through Excel, but I can "Export to Excel" through Power BI Service with no problem. How can I fix this?
Excel version: 2307 (Build 16626.20170)
Power BI Licens: Premium per User
Thank you all in advance!

I have had issues like that in the past that required I work with Power BI support directly to resolve.
