Refreshing Google sheets as web source not working for two or more datasets

I have a strange situation. I have 3 intentical PowerBI Desktop files that are connecting to one Google sheet each ( publish to web). The google sheet also are intentical (templates). 

When I upload to service (from OneDrive Business) I am able to schedule refresh for the first one I upload. The second and third throws error on query (query issues). 

I tried to use another account for the remaining two. Strangely the first one working and the second is not. It is like it cannot have the same source twice.

The access to Google docs is anonymous.

 

I have tried in both Pro & Free account, reconstruct the queries, change permissions to Google docs. Only the first upload file  is refreshing.

Any ideas why this is hapenning?

Hi,

 

have you found solution for that? 

 

I have gdoc sheet published in the web (without credentials, published as excel). Everything works fine in Power BI Desktop. When I publish it first time to the Power BI Cloud it works fine, but after I refresh dataset, data is missing - empy report.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks
