Hi,

I am trying to connect to a PowerBI Desktop file located on OneDrive for Business. This file is getting data from JSON format files.

Unfortunately I get the following message:

Hi,

Is there a solution for this issue? I face similar error. Tried to connect an excel file from onedirve (Get data -> Files -> Onedrive - Business). I tried loading even a simple excel (with 2 text column and 2 rows in text), shows same error.

I am using Pro Trail version. Will that be an issue? I assume, no.

Hi @tgatet ,

"I am trying to connect to a PowerBI Desktop file located on OneDrive for Business. This file is getting data from JSON format files.

Unfortunately I get the following message:"

1. Did you follow the steps below?

2. In addition, can your .pbix file be opened normally in PBI Desktop? Is it possible that your .pbix file is damaged?

3. You check the access permissions of the file again, you may not have access permissions.

Best regards,
Lionel Chen

What do you mean by trying to connect to a Power BI Desktop file located on OneDrive? As in you are trying to open the file in Power BI Desktop?
