The authentication error may be a red herring, try signing out of and into Power BI and Excel again to make sure, but I've seen this same error when the OLE DB libraries on were out of date after an Excel release.
If anything has been uypdated recently, you may need to download the newer versions of the libraries.
Hi smokeyjoe03
Thanks for the input 👍i'll try to reinstall excell again and see if it solves the issue.
With regards to signing out of PowerBI and Excel, i've tried that and it didn't help.
