Analyze in Excel: Invalid value for key 'integrated security'
I have a dataset in the Power Bi Service that I'm trying to use in Excel.
The "Analyze in Excel" option works fine when generating the Excel file and I can even refresh without issue.
The problem arrises when I try to use Power Pivot with the connection. I get the error: "Failed to connect to the server. Reason: Invalid value for key 'integrated security'."
This is the connection string in the Excel file that was generated by the Power Bi Service:
Provider=MSOLAP.8;Integrated Security=ClaimsToken;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=sobe_wowvirtualserver-36ae5565-a0f0-47c1-80f3-1948749003cd;Data Source=pbiazure://api.powerbi.com;MDX Compatibility=1;Safety Options=2;MDX Missing Member Mode=Error;Identity Provider=https://login.microsoftonline.com/common, https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api, 929d0ec0-7a41-4b1e-bc7c-b754a28bddcc;Update Isolation Level=2
I tried uninstalling/removing and then reinstalling add-ons/drivers that were suggested by other threads unfortunately to no avail. In fact it might have done more harm than good but that's beside the point.
I can't seem to figure this out and would appreacite any insight.

As far as I know currently it is not possible to connect from Power Query in Excel to a Power BI Dataset in the service.

It is quite possible to connect to a PBI Dataset in the service, with power query in excel. A dataset is an AAS Cube and power query has an AAS connector: Get Data\From Database\From Analysis Services, then enter the Workspace Connection URL. Select Use the following User Name and Password and leave them blank (assuming MFA is enabled).
