Get Data from Sharepoint issue

Hello,

 

Lately we are facing an issue while connecting to SharePoint from Power BI Service level. This is what I try to do:

1. In Power BI Service I click on “Get Data” and then “Files”:

2. In the next panel I click on “SharePoint – Team Sites”

3. In the pop-up window I type in the URL of SharePoint which I have access to and following error appears:

I also tried connecting to higher levels, so without Shared Documents at the end, then without next level and so on – nothing worked. The same connection worked at the end of August. The error only appears when I try to access data this way, connection from Power BI Desktop or Data Flows works correctly. Also, access level to SharePoint hasn't changed.

 

Could you assist with that issue?

Best Regards,
Karol

@Anonymous Try going all the way back to the base site, that works for me. "https://<company>.sharepoint.com" then you can click through and navigate to the file location.
