PowerShell Scheduled Data Refresh – Call to Excel Services Returned an error

In SharePoint Power Pivot data Automatic refresh from excel services, I got an error saying that “Power Pivot Scheduled Data Refresh – Call to Excel Services Returned an error” as shown the image below



By digging into the issue I have found that I don’t have permissions for Power Pivot service. To fix the issue we have to add the permissions for Power Pivot. To add we need to give the account running Power Pivot Full Control to the Web app under the Policy for Web Application.


Hope this helps.
