Error loading to Data Model

Hi Team,

 

I am finally making my way into Power Query after a short course on it as I am constantly creating all kinds of excel reports and dashboards. I have big monthly payroll files + other staff related excel reports which I must convert into a dashboard.

 

I am using Office 365 and as I tried to load my query into a datamodel(as a connection), I got the attached error and I am clueless where to start looking for a solution to this.

 

My monthly files are located in a folder on my Onedrive with the following location/path:

C:\Users\myname\OneDrive - Vivo Global\Reports 2020\Power Query Dashboard\

 

Is it because this folder is on Onedrive?

 

Thanks.

    From Folder connector is for local folders, if this case you need to use From SharePoint Folder connector.

      SergeiBaklan thanks for the feedback.

       

      I just tried the sharepoint folder but getting this error below:

       

      Details: "Access to the resource is forbidden."

       

      Any idea how I can overcome that?

        SergeiBaklan apologies but problem has been resolved after visiting the data source settings (permissions).

         

        THanks.
