Unexpected error when creating dataflows with blob storage
Anonymous,
Please check if the url you input is valid. In addtion, can you connect to azure blob storage in power bi desktop?
You can also refer to this blob to check if there is anything wrong with your steps: http://www.gastoncruz.com/en/2016/09/17/power-bi-azure-blob-storage/

Thanks Jimmy,
Connection to Blob Storage works.
Url I use looks like this:
https://storageaccountname.blob.core.windows.net/storageaccountname
This is the same I use to connect to Blob Storage. So do not understand why dataflows cannot connect there
I tried also providing url like that:
https://storageaccountname.blob.core.windows.net
or providing storage name:
storageaccountname
but it failed too.
Another attempt was to create dataflow by using previously generated blob SAS url
but it failed with the same error
Anonymous,
Create a folder containing the csv files in Azure blob storage and use URL directed to the folder like: DomainUrl/Folder/
