OAuth error when creating a dataflow from a SharePoint folder

Hi, I am trying to create a dataflow using the SharePoint folder connector.

 

The popup window opens and closes after 1s and I got an error during the authentication.

I tried the solution from this post and it didn't work : https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/Creating-a-Dataflow-from-a-SharePoint-Online-list-get-T....

 

The connection to the SharePoint folder is working on Power BI desktop.

 

Regards,

 

Brice

You must use a gateway for on-prem SharePoint and likely need to switch to Windows authentication.

Hi lbendlin, thanks for your quick answer.

 

This is on-premise sharepoint. Is there still a way to create a connection ?

Thanks a lot! It's working well using a standard gateway and windows authentication mode.

Please confirm that this is SPO and not on-premise sharepoint.
