PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 - Scheduled Data Refresh with Power Query not supported

PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 - Scheduled Data Refresh with Power Query not supported

  • Comments 1

You may see a "Call to Excel Services failed" error when trying to perform a scheduled data refresh using PowerPivot for SharePoint on a workbook in SharePoint 2013 that has a Power Query connection to a data source. At this time, Power Query is not supported by SharePoint 2013 on-premise. It is only supported by Power BI for Office 365 (SharePoint Online).

As a workaround, you can connect to the data source without using Power Query by creating a data connection using PowerPivot. To determine whether or not the workbook currently has a Power Query data connection, look at the connection string in Excel by going to Data > Connections > Properties >  Definition. If the Provider is Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1, this indicates that the data connection was made using Power Query.
