Unexpected Error when creating a DataFlow

[ghdunn]

Hi.  I am exploring the DataFlow functionality but seem to be falling at the first hurdle.  

If I Create a new DataFlow, and add an entity, I then try to add the url of a simple .xls spreadsheet located on my OneDrive.  I get an 'Unexpected Error' followed by the session ID.

Any clues as to what I may be doing wrong, or if its to do with not being able to source from OneDrive (can't imagine why not) then is there an example of a publicly available file or website I can access reliably?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @ghdunn,

You can read this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-use-onedrive-business-links

to get the URL for the xlsx file.
