Scheduled refresh not working for web source
I'm trying to schedule a resfresh but I am getting the following error
| Processing error: | Web.Contents with the Content option is only supported when connecting anonymously |
It is correct, I use basic login functionality on a source. Username/password. What steps do I need to take to connect anonymously?
The query looks like this
let
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://secure.clockwise.info/clockwise/Mycompany/export/export.php?aktie=exporteer&cwtblexport/53/1/data.file")),
Table0 = Source{0}[Table],
etc.
Thanks!
I fixed this by adding [Headers =[#"Authorization"="Basic XXXXXX"] to my source call.
The XXXX is username:password encoded in base 64. (google it for a converter)

RSGhelp - That's an odd one, you say you are connecting using a username and password but the error is saying that you are only allowed to connect anonymously?
You could check the Issues forum here:

And if it is not there, then you could post it.
If you have Pro account you could try to open a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free. Go to https://support.powerbi.com. Scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET".Yes, I use the "basic" login functionality which uses a username and a password. The data refreshes fine in PowerBI desktop. The trouble comes when using the scheduled refresh on the app.powerbi.com.
RSGhelp - I'm thinking support issue then, it's notoriously hard to troubleshoot Service refresh errors most times.
