Couldn't Create Data Source

Posted on by Louisa45 5

Hello,

I'm trying to import a file to customer insight throught Power Query. 

Everytime I want to save after transform I get this error : 

"Failed to validate the dataflow in the external validations. 'Failed to validate the dataflow in the external validations'.

I tried with a CSV, a XLSX and Json files, I always get the same error.

Note that I work with other people who use the same files and don't get this error.

What can I do about this ? I can't find any help online.

Thanks.
