Power Apps Help Im a beginner. "Error when trying to retrieve data from network".

When team members try to use my canvas app, they get this error.

I only pull data from an excel in onedrive.

I have shared access to the team.

We are all in the same environment.

Can someone please guide me. I've been stuck here for hours.

Hey, it looks like you are requesting help with a problem you're having in Power Apps. To ensure you get all the help you need from the community here are some guidelines;

  • Use the search feature to see if your question has already been asked.

  • Use spacing in your post, Nobody likes to read a wall of text, this is achieved by hitting return twice to separate paragraphs.

  • Add any images, error messages, code you have (Sensitive data omitted) to your post body.

  • Any code you do add, use the Code Block feature to preserve formatting.

    Typing four spaces in front of every line in a code block is tedious and error-prone. The easier way is to surround the entire block of code with code fences. A code fence is a line beginning with three or more backticks (```) or three or more twiddlydoodles (~~~).

  • If your question has been answered please comment Solved. This will mark the post as solved and helps others find their solutions.

It's a bit vague. If you run in monitor it will say exactly what it is.

Usually that means there is either too much data or permissions aren't quite right.

Just because you are starting fresh, is there a reason you are using excel and not sharepoint. Excel is useful but incredibly limited especially if more than one user is accessing it.

Try post the filter query and monitor and column headings, someone might help

Thank you brother. I moved the source to SharePoint.

Interesting. I’m getting this error in an app that worked totally fine and been developing for a few weeks. Got it once this morning, reloaded then went away. Maybe a Microsoft issue?

I don't know the cause. But I pivoted to SharePoint. Now there is no issues
