Not possible to schedule a refresh

Hello community,
I'm currently working in a power bi report that takes some photos from the Sharepoint and I'm making the path with the Folder Path & Name of the photo and transform them to base64 which is working. 

 

Now the problem is that I can't schedule a refresh cause I get this message. I tried everything I found but not working because it ask for the credentials and tells me that can not sign in even tho the datas are correct. 

 

I tried to add the relative path but this is what is causing me the problem with the credential. 

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Rows", "URL", each Web.Contents("https://####.sharepoint.com",
 [ 
     RelativePath="teams/team_###/Shared Documents/ET_PUR_Input/File Name/Pictures/"
  & Text.From([Name])]
))

 

I can say that I've tried in many ways but none are working.

What I am doing wrong? Can you please help me? thank you!

Hi @Anonymous ,

As the error indicates you have got a data source where it is dynamically created.
You can try to go into Power Query and click on Data Sources, it will say Hand Authored data source. You will then need to fix your table where this occurs.

Refer to, which describes how to set a scheduled refresh on a dynamic data source in Power BI:

Hi @Anonymous - I could not see the actual error message in your post.  It is likely that error message will be related to privacy concern because of the way that you are using one data source to get data from the Web, but I need the message to confirm.  Could you please share? 

I was also wondering why you have not use the native SharePoint.Files power query function instead of Web.Contents.  It looks like the picture are stored in a normal SharePoint Library.  The connector will give you access to the binary file that you can convert to Base64 text.

Hello, @Daryl , thank you for replying.

This is the message I get when trying to set a refresh for the power bi.

So when I am using the native Sharepoint files power query function I get this error. When I am trying to switch to Web.Contents() using aswell a relative path my credentials aren't recognized by the system.

The sharepoint I'm using has Organisational privacy cause it is from my company.
