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?

    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.

    Thanks for keeping us informed, dimazaid.

    Will you update this topic once updating from online sources without a gateway is working again?

    Onedrive dataset update works fine (scheduled refresh, on demand also). I still need to see if there is on-change "push" update from Onedrive to PowerBI service.

    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!
