Hi all. I've been all over the forums but can't get to the bottom of this one.
I'm trying to connect Power BI to a specific spreadsheet, held in a Sharepoint/Teams private channel, but I can't connect ("we couldn't authenticate with the credentials you provided").
I receive the same error every time. I have tried:
* using Power BI and Excel to connect
* connecting to the file itself (using "web" connection), and to the parent Sharepoint folder (using "Sharepoint folder" connection)
* selecting different "layers" in the permission structure, from the drop-down box (as in the screenshot below). This trick worked for other documents, held elsewhere in Teams. - thanks to Syndicate_Admin in this thread.
I can successfully connect to:
* .xlss in the "general" channel of the same team
* .xlsx held in a different private channel of the same team
* .xlsx held in other teams (private and general channels).
I cannot connect to:
* this specific .xlsx file
* any other .xlsx files in the same channel
Background:
* I own all the documents
* I own the private channel
* I own the team
* I am global admin for M365!
* I have set my default browser to Edge
This one channel seems to be cursed. It's got to be a Sharepoint permissions thing, but I don't know where to look. Can anybody help?
