Connecting power bi to Azure data lake gen 2

Question

Hey everyone I am trying to connect Powerbi to my data lake gen 2 on azure I am set as Storage Blob Data Contributor Aswell as Storage Blob Data Reader on the Storage account level i am not sure if I am doing something wrong but I also used the MS docs yet nothing https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/connectors/datalakestorage

The URL is formatted according to this format https://.dfs.core.windows.net//

Answer 1

To resolve Access to the resource is forbidden error, try following ways:

• As suggested by Etienne Oosthuysen , check the date-time settings of your system.

As per documentation :

• Only this format is supported https://<accountname>.dfs.core.windows.net/<container>

• It doesn't support filename or subfolder like this, https://<accountname>.dfs.core.windows.net/<container>/<filename> or https://<accountname>.dfs.core.windows.net/<container>/<subfolder>

You can refer to Get Data from Azure Data Lake Gen 2 : Access to the resource is forbidden

Answer 2

After disabling both Enable soft delete for blobs and containers in azure storage account connection issue was resolved.

To Change Settings Go To Azure storage account ---> Data Protection--->Disable soft delete for blobs/Enable soft delete for containers
