OAuth not listed as Authentication Method

Hello,

The data source is an Excel file located on OneDrive. The report was successfully published but I cannot refresh the data on Power BI Service since the OAuth option is not listed, and all others don't work (Anonymous, Windows and Basic). The report can be refreshed on BI Desktop just fine, but not on the web. Has anyone faced this problem before?

Please make sure that you use the same account for Power BI and onedrive.

Hello Charlie.

The account is the same. I don't have problems to update the data when using the Desktop version, and have at the moment other reports that uitilize OneDrive files as data sources. This is the only one where "OAuth" doesn't appear as an option.
