I have a Premium Workspace that is linked to 3 SharePoint lists and published on Power BI service with Premium capacity. In mid-March 2023 I refreshed the data source (the sharepoint lists) and it refreshed the data sources. Circa 6 weeks later I tried to refresh the data again and got the following error. After several other manual and scheduled refresh attempts I got the same error message.
After the failure to update on Power BI service, I then tried to refresh on the Power BI desktop version of the same published app. This also failed with the following OLE DB or ODBC error message.
I have tried the following to explore / resolve this, but with no success:
SharePoint list
Power BI Desktop
Power BI Service
I believe that this is an issue with the April 2023 version of Power BI Desktop and Service, but just wanted to confirm this is the case? I downloaded the March 2023 version of Desktop and it was able to connect to the sharepoint lists. Is it confirmed that the May 2023 version will overcome this error? Also when will this be available?
