I am trying to link a excel file in OneDrive to my Python Script in Power BI. I tried doing it through the onedrive website, but it says filenotfound. Is there any way to fix this issue? (This is using the website, not the Desktop).
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello @js15
Not sure if you have done this, please try this
Go to the location on OneDrive where the excel is saved.
Click on the three dots next to the file name > Details
In the pane on right; click "more details"
You should see "Path" with some squares, you can click that it will copy the location of the file.
In PBI; just do a web source and paste that path as the URL
or
Open the Excel file in OneDrive
• Go to File > Share > Embed
• Copy the embed code and extract the URL
Then try this
import pandas as pd
url = "https://onedrive.live.com/download?resid=YOUR_RESID&authkey=YOUR_AUTHKEY"
df = pd.read_excel(url)
see if this helps
Thanks
