      @Access Analytic question, have you ever set up a "SharePoint" Server? Meaning you have a SharePoint dedicated to running queries that are aggregating from forms you created for your company on another SharePoint site. You can then query to this "SharePoint Server" site to get reports from?

    To be honest this video has just paid for my year's TH-cam subscription. Can you imagine what the world would be like if every video was this informative. I had practically given up on trying to get files out of Shitepoint until now.

    Man!! Lifesaver - I was using previous method - in our company we have a preservation hold folder that is bloated, so it was taking forever to load a file from one of the other folders because it has to first load all data from the other folders before I can filter for what I want

    Wow. This is a neat workaround. Thanks for sharing this! I would generally avoid this method because the "drill down" isn't expanded and my worry is it isn't shown in Applied Steps. I guess by breaking them like what you showed here does the trick! So now whenever the folder path changes in future, I can go to that step and edit!

    Great video, put's light in a very complicated mechanism to access excel files. once again this proves how bad this non-feature was implemented from PowerBI point of view. The casual player will never figure out this. It has no explanation why power bi developers and sharepoint developers didn't manage to find a simple and easy way to access each specific folder !

    • @AccessAnalytic
      @AccessAnalytic  ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. In the next 6 months I expect to see the dataflow UI hit power bi desktop and that has a better connector experience

    Hi Wynn. The SharePoint.Contents( ) approach works really well. For private channels in Teams, at first sight it looks as if SharePoint.Contents( ) does not return the private channel. That is because a private channel actually has a different SharePoint URL, so the first step Source will have to point to another URL.

    • @AccessAnalytic

      Thanks, you’d need to go into the advanced editor for that and combine the 2 steps into 1 and replace the path with a word like SourcePath, then create a parameter ( via parameter button ) called SourcePath

    Thank you so much, this has been bothering me for such a long time. I don't understand why MS does not just allow you to connect to the subfolder directly instead of only allowing you to conect to the main Sharepoint site.
