CSV file from SharePoint - refresh - credentials issue
- 5 years ago
Hi, sevenhills
According to your follow-up, I make some additional test, first I change the colleague account to a member of the site, then I use his account to refresh the dataset again, I still succeeded:
This result indicates that both member and admin of the site can refresh the dataset.
Then I wonder if it’s because you don’t have access to the root website. I changed to another account outside the organization, which can not access the root website. Then I added it to my site, it showed as a guest in the list:
Then I use this account to take over and refresh the dataset, I tried manual refresh and scheduled refresh, you guess what? They both succeeded!
Therefore, I think that your member access to the SharePoint site is enough for you to refresh the dataset. I suggest you to create a new workspace and publish the report again to the new workspace and try to refresh the dataset.
What’s more, my share point site is a private group, what’s your group type?

Hi, sevenhills
In my opinion, the refreshing dataset has nothing to do with the workspace if you are the workspace admin. It’s only related to the credential problems, Here are the things you should check again:
- Edit the credential using the OAuth2 method and login with the correct account.
- Make sure you can refresh the dataset successfully in the Power BI desktop when you click “Refresh”.
If you still can not solve this problem, I suggest you to mark this reply as a solution and go to create a Power BI support ticket for better help

you should check on your gateway configuration amke sure you have no gateway configure for the sharepoint source, instead go to the main gateway configuration and check the it to use conection from web:
FYI, We dont need gateway. CSV file source - sharepoint is online version only. (Power BI service is also online version only)
Thanks
