Hi,
Im encountering a problem in refreshing my report in Power BI Service. The data source of this report is an Excel file uploaded to Sharepoint.
Below is the error message in Power BI Service that I get showing failure to refresh the report.
Is it because I don't have access to the source link?
Appreciate your kind advice. Thanks.
Best regards,
Mark V.
@markefrody Well, whatever credentials are being used to access the Excel file are not acceptable/invalid/etc. Could be you don't have access or the account password has changed, etc.
