Power View Error : Exception from HRESULT : 0x800401A8

[verhena]

I'm following the on-line course and I'm at Course 5.

When opening the Lab 5 - USA file to make Exercise 2, I can't get the data for Power View 3rd tab and the Error message I'm getting is the following : exception from HRESULT : 0x800401A8.

Does someone know what I need to do ?

Thanks.

@verhena,

I am able to view the Power view tab in Excel 2016. In your scenario, please go to File->options->Add-ins, firstly verify that if you add Power view add in.


Secondly,silverlight is required.


Thirdly, even if that you are not able to view data of Power view tab in the Excel, you can directly go to app.powerbi.com and sign in your Power BI account, then upload the Excel file to Power BI Service, the Power view report will be converted into Power BI report.

In addition, for the exercise issues, please post questions in this forum to get dedicated support.

Regards,
Lydia
