    Hi All,

     

    I was able to solve the issue by creating a fresh Analyze in Excel file using the same Power BI report and copying over the connection string from that file into the existing excel report. I am now able to refresh and this hasnt affected the other users.

Hello All

 

I am experiencing a similar issue where users across my entire organization are unable to view data in Excel files exported using Analyze in Excel. There are no credential problems, and all reports are opened using the same signed-in account.

Additionally, when I try to upload the file to Excel Live, I receive an error stating that the file cannot be uploaded.

Could someone please assist with this?
