Hi,
I have got stuck with a weird issue with Analyze in Excel where in I am able to use the DataSet in Excel but when user is trying to do the same he gets below error:
He has got Admin access on workspace and all the Microsoft Analysis OLEDB Provider is also latest alongwith Excel updates which I have on my machine. It looks more like profile related as with my id I am able to access it on the same machine but it still doesn't work for user.
Has anyone seen this issue in past as its causing a lot of trouble?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @nitishsh91 ,
Is your user unable to use Analyze in Excel only for this dataset, or for all datasets?
If it fails for all datasets, please check his excel version, Microsoft Analysis OLEDB Provider version and .NETFramework version.
If it fails for only one dataset, please check the user's access to the underlying dataset (e.g. whether the user can create new reports with this dataset).
If the problem still cannot be resolved, please submit a ticket, and it is free for pro users.

Hi @nitishsh91
The error seems to be for the datasource, can you ensure the user has same acess on this datasource and the dataset that you're using?
Yes user has same access on dataset and datasource, also this datasource is refreshed via on-premises gateway so I am not sure if datasource access will matter here.
Hi @nitishsh91
Could you ask the user to access it directly from Excel (Making sure that the latest version is installed)
Or you can access it via the browser with this link shown below:Create Connected PivotTables in Excel for the web | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI
Yes user tried via that and there also there is an error:
Hi @nitishsh91 ,
You may see this error "Initialization of the data source failed", particularly the first time you try to do this. This is normally related to you not having the correct data connector installed for your version of Excel. Make sure your users have installed the correct (64 bit or 32 bit) data connector on their own computers.
