Scheduled refresh error
Hi Anonymous ,
You should change all data sources to the same format as below:
let
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("xxxxxxxxxxxxx"), null, true),
It is by default when you load excel file to power bi desktop whether you use a local disk or a network disk.

All data sources?
Do you mean I should also change
let Source = Folder.Files("Path to the folder"),into
let Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("Source path"), null, true),Because that doesn't make a lot of sense since the files are not excel files but .txt files.
Only excel file it connects to is 1 query ( which doesnt show in the error ) and it has the same format as you wrote.
At first when I wrote that I recreated an excel file into PowerBI doesn't mean I am acctually linking to that excel file, instead I made querys just like in that excel file. These querys get data from .txt files, analytics cubes and a websource.
In my first post the error shows in queries from 1 to 15. These querys mostly has source to another query. For example query 1 source is query 14, query 2 source is query 14 and query 14 source is a .txt file that automatically updates every 1h:let Source = Folder.Files("Path to the folder"),So since I can't schedule a refresh for example to query 14 that connects to a .txt file that means my other querys that connect to query 14 obiously can't refresh either.
So now I don't understand why the error code says:
Query contains unsupported function. Function name: File.Contents
while the querys that were listed ( query 1-15 ) in the same error do not contain such function.
