CompletedConnect to Excel Workbook - "Workbook already exists - This workbook already exists on Power BI"
Kristoffer Absalonsen on 29 Sep 2016 21:22:03
When I try to connect to Excel Workbook on Onedrive for Business ( Power BI Service > Get Data > OneDrive for Business > Excel Workbook > "Connect" ), I get the following message, but it is not possible to find the report in the reports to the group:
"Workbook already exists - This workbook already exists on Power BI"
Connecting and removing the report has not been an issue earlier.

RE: Connect to Excel Workbook - "Workbook already exists - This workbook already exists on Power BI"
This happened to me more than once when moving an existing Excel file from the original location. When I tried to reconnect the Excel with PowerBI, I got this error message "This workbook already exists on Power BI". The Excel file is not visible in the Reports section, so I cannot remove any old reference to the file.
It seems to be an orphan reference issue. Any idea?

Hi, thank you for looking into to it!
I'm not able to reproduce it with other excel worksbooks either. Is there a way to clear the cache in the Power BI Service?

Hello Kristoffer,
As i can not reproduce this can you create a support ticket at http://support.powerbi.com?
Thanks
