Dataflow from an Excel file - the file is not found any more...

[Chema_Ortega]

Hi everybody, I hope you are very good.

I created a dataflow in Power BI service connecting to an Excel file in OneDrive for Business, but today I tried to enter some data in this Excel file, and is no longer found.... What can I do? This is a BIG PROBLEM for me...

Thanks a lot,

Chema Ortega

Hi Chema,

If you mean that the file is no longer present in the OneDrive for Business folder at all, then it's probably either:

-1- Been accidentally dragged and dropped into a neighbouring folder. Once you've navigated to the folder it should be in, have a look to see which other folders are visible from that point in the folder navigation and check inside each of those. Or;

-2- Been accidentally deleted. Log in to OneDrive for Business online and find the Recycle Bin. Deleted files should be retained in here for 90 days, I believe.

Hi Pete,

Thanks a lot. I cannot find the Recycle Bin in OneDrive for Business Online neither...

It should be on the landing page menu on the left:
