Hi,
I guess my issue is similar to the one in this topic, but not sure... In essence, one of our supplier to hosting an excel file on their sharepoint site (www.insightportal.suppliername.com/sites/....).
I do have access to this sharepoint and to the file using my company email and a password that the supplier has provided me (different from my O365 one), however I cannot manage to access the file through Get Data / Sharepoint folder.
I've tried to solve this using similar cases I've seen, but ultimately the main question is: is it possible?
Thx for the clarification,
Ben
@Anonymous,
Based on my test, external user is not able to connect to SharePoint Folder in Power BI Desktop as you describe.
A workaround I can think of is to create an account in supplier's tenant for you and then you use this account to connect to the SharePoint Folder.

Lydia
thx for your input, however I am afraid that it still won't work: when I try to use the credentials I use to access the external SharePoint, I still get error messages... My only solution is to do manual copies of the file onto my company SharePoint (or to try to use Flow for this, but I end with the same issue, Flow won't work on an external SharePoint... 😞
@Anonymous,
Do you use the account which is in your supplier's tenant to sign in SharePoint?
