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.
