Hello everyone!
I have an issue on Power BI desktop. I can't connect to web data sources. I tried to do the UEFA European Football example (see https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-tutorial-importing-and-analyzing-d...) with data from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_European_Football_Championship) but is impposible to query the data from this source. The software freezes at "Please wait while we establish a connection to..." and connection time is exeeded. This only happens with web sources. I tried the following possible solutions but none of these work:
-Network issues: I tried the connections from the network at my job, but my coworkers don't have problems.
-HTTPS: I tried http instead https.
-Sign out and Sign in
-Restart PC
I can't reinstall the software 'cause I don't have administrator permission. Any other suggestions?
By the way, I have a 64-bit version in a 64-bit PC with 32-bit Office
I just tried this and it worked. You can try going into your data sources, File | Options | Data source settings and clearing the permissions. Then try reconnecting and using Anonymous permissions, that's what I used.
I am on the April release of the Desktop, 64-bit, English language.
Hi smoupre. Thank you for answer.
I actually tried your option to (I forget to put it in the original message) but I get the same.
I just tested. And it works properly. Can you access the web page in your browser?
Please update your Power BI Desktop in to latest version and try again.
Regards,
Hi!
Yes, I can access the web page in the browser. I said in the original message that my coworkers (who have similar credentials to mine) don't have problems in connection. I'm gonna try update the software talking with an IT guy cause I don't hve administrator permissions.
By the way, and as I said previously, software spend a long time in this and after that, "connection time exeeded"
