Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst — Question 21

From Power Query Editor, you attempt to execute a query and receive the following error message.

Datasource.Error: Could not find file.

What are two possible causes of the error? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. You do not have permissions to the file.
• B. An incorrect privacy level was used for the data source.
• C. The file is locked.
• D. The referenced file was moved to a new location.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answer A indicates that insufficient permissions can prevent access to the file, leading to the error. Answer D is also correct as moving the file to a different location would similarly result in the system being unable to find it. Options B and C do not directly relate to the 'file not found' error message.
