Publishing failed message bar

[Craig]

Hello, 

I am new to PowerBI.   I have a file saved on my OneDrive for business.  Want to publish it to test the features of PowerBI...i clicked File, Publish, Export.  but I get a "Pubishing Failed" yellow message bar...this happens on any Excel file i tried .  when i click "learn how to solve this problem" i get to the general MS support help page.

thanks for any help with this matter

Hi @Craig ,

This article explains a numbers of items that have to be in place - like you have to have Excel 2016 or later, a Microsoft 365 subscription, OneDrive for Business or SharePoint online (or you can have the file locally).

Take a look at this article and see if it resolves your issue:
