As far as I know, this only affects any "screen scraping" you are doing; so if your queries contain "Web.Page", then you will need to follow the advice here. We have plenty of data sources that are accessed via http / web and that's not going to be affected. E.d. OData.Feed, Web.Contents, etc. will all be unaffected.

Hmmm, I have no scraping stuff. I have two workbooks and pbix file on personal onedrive. Pbix file was imported into PowerBI service (free) using GET DATA, and Pbix file as source targeted those two excel workbooks on onedrive via https://onedrive.live.com/download... links.

All this worked before on PowerBI service, and still works on PowerBI Desktop, but now I get errors about credentials or it spins while auhorisation of web credentials.

Any idea?

    I am facing the same issue

    1. used web connector to connect to excel on onedrive for business

    2. suto schedule is not working

     

    but when i try to use a gateway (just like it is suggested) it still gives me an error. Under the gateway there is no "oauth" option and using the basic, anonomus, and windows still gives me an error.

     

    Can I can now refresh my report which is conneted to excel on ODFB?

      Hi Anonymous,
      The error you're running into is due to a different issue. The good news is that the fix should be in PROD soon, stay tuned, I'll post a comment here once it's online.
      Thanks!

        The OneDrive and SP connection issues are fixed in production, just verified it. Please let me know if you are still running into any issues.

    OK - there is another issue that affects data connectivity to OneDrive / Sharepoint that you are probably running into. That is being addressed at the moment. This is different from the Web page import issue.

     

    Stay tuned.
