ERROR - "We couldn't import data from OneDrive - [group name]"

Has anyone else seen the below error messages when trying to pull a pbix file into the service from a OneDrive for Biz group? Just started today, won't let me connect to any files - even previously working ones. I've already submitted a support req, just trying to figure out if it's a problem on my side or the service.

Thanks!Two BI Import Errors.JPG

Looks like all is well this morning, I've uploaded, refreshed, etc. several pbix files with no issues. Thanks all for the input.

The last refresh attempt failed because of an internal service error.

I am having a similar issue this morning but mine was with loading an excel file from One Drive to be viewed in excel online. I removed the old file from the Reports section and tried to reload it using Get Data. I got the same error you got, but I accidentally hit cancel. Now if I try to load the file again it says that it already exists on PowerBI even though it is not showing under Reports. 

@rhouse@vpray@cheid1977@Anonymous As noted in other threads of this type of issue that I commented in, I submitted a Service Ticket that was responded to quickly that Microsoft is aware of the problem, it is a high priority, and they are working on resolution. I submitted all threads including this one pertaining to the issue.

I am having the same issue. I can't publish from the BI desktop nor can I upload a file to the BI website. Both error with no usefule information as to why the files failed to load.

Update - strangely, the two files that imported OK this morning do not show the schedule refresh options. When I click on schedule refresh in the context menu, it just shows the other usual stuff like OneDrive Refresh, but no Schedule Refresh. And the existing files (before this problem started) still have the usual schedule refresh options. This seems to go along with what @egrunt posted.

Ok good.  I thought it was just me.  Cant import any files as of yesterday afternoon (4pm eastern)

 

Edit: my pbix file was a Local File import, not onedrive.  So it seems like a wide spread issue

Update, import, refresh, and publish all seem to be down for me. I have submitted a ticket and recommend you do as well so that the true scope of the problem is known to Microsoft. Hopefully it will encourage a swift resolution.

Thanks @kcantor, I submitted a support ticket yesterday, and sent a frown this morning when trying to publish from desktop. Included a link to this thread in the frown.

Update - got two of my four almost identical pbix files to import this morning. The other two won't go. The two that worked would not work yesterday. Tried publishing from pbi desktop this morning, failed also. No idea why two files went OK and the other two did not. One of the two that worked actually failed on first try, then came through on the second try. No word yet from MS support.

New import files and Scheduled or Manual Refresh seems to be having issues today.

Having issues with importing from Azure Data Warehouse for a previously working report-- started sometime after 6:16AM today. I'm wondering if it may be an issue with their PowerBI->azure services gateway
