I used +create to create a BI Service report, select Excel for data. In the next page, which is a Power Query window, I get the following error when I click on "Browse OneDrive" under connection settings. I've tried both the "Link to file" and the "Upload file" option but get the same error.
It used to work but suddenly quit working. How do I fix it?
ApiRequest UnknownServiceError with status 500
Under Mashup script box, it shows "section section 1;.
Solved! Go to Solution.
