Data Refresh from Excel Fails
Hello, I have a Power BI access issue that has been hounding us for a while. In summary: a user is unable able to refresh data from Excel for a Power Bi report that was shared with her. ...
Thanks for your input.
I have resolved our issue.
How?
We did 2 things.
1. Performed a fresh install of Excel.
2. Added Fabric free license for each user.
Cheers,
Hello royce4
I reommend you that please follow below steps
- Verify that the data source credentials are correctly set up in Power BI. Sometimes, missing or incorrect credentials can cause refresh failures
- Make sure that the user has the correct permissions for both the report and the dataflows. Even though the user has Admin access, there might be specific permissions required for refreshing data
- The gateway must be running and correctly set up to allow data refreshes.
