Not able to save credentials - excel source file in OneDrive
- 1 year ago
Hi Alex0106 ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.Get SharePoint Site and File Path
Open the Excel file in OneDrive for Business in the browser.Click "..." - Details to view the document location.
Copy the full SharePoint URL up to the site root.
Example: https://yourorg.sharepoint.com/sites/YourTeamSite
Use SharePoint Folder in Power BI Desktop
In Power BI Desktop, go to Home - Get Data - More - SharePoint Folder.Enter the root SharePoint URL (like above).
When prompted for credentials:
Choose Organizational account (OAuth2).
Sign in with your work credentials.
Power BI will return all files in the site. Filter by your file name to select your Excel file.
Load the Data
Transform the data using Power Query as needed.Save and publish the report to Power BI Service.
Set Credentials in Power BI Service
Go to Power BI Service - Workspace - Dataset Settings.Under Data source credentials, choose OAuth2 / Organizational account and sign in.
Click Save - it should now work properly since SharePoint Folder supports this flow.

Hi Alex0106 ,
Can you try changing the authentication method to OAuth2. This should allow you to login with your credentials.
If this helped, please mark it as the solution so others can benefit too. And if you found it useful, kudos are always appreciated.
Thanks,
Samson
Hi Samson
Unfortunately I have no other options for the Authentication method other than the one selected.
Thanks
Alex
