@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.
Really, thanks for sharing your knowledge. You saved my day here. Was trying for 2 hours how to link it. The Power BI/EXCEL in app information is horrible for this. This video/tutorial deserves an OSCAR.
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 !
Wow. This vidoe just transformed by process in a significant want, because my files are too large to have in a folder on my desktop. So i store my files in SharePoint and connect to folders to dynamically load the data
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.
Glad to help out Donald. The breaking out of the navigation step was something I came across accidentally a few months ago. Really handy in when referencing dataflows too.
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.
This video is a genuine service to humanity
😂 - made me smile - thanks!
I agree 1000%. This video is gold and is something I never want to lose.
Thank you 😀

I am just speechless. What an unbelivably timesaving workaround.
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.

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 !
Agreed. In the next 6 months I expect to see the dataflow UI hit power bi desktop and that has a better connector experience
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!!
You’re welcome.

Great..., this is what i'm looking for, Thank you

I always learn something new from your videos!
Thanks for letting me know 😀
This is so much cleaner than my "filter 'ends with'" hack
Also seems to load waaaay faster, which is my biggest gripe with PowerX and SharePoint
Yes, definitely quicker as t doesn't have to navigate all that meta-data
Awesome contribution. you saved my tons of hours. Thank you soo much
I appreciate you taking the time to let me know you found it useful

thank you so much!!! I wish you get good & blessing karma because of your very useful knowledge!!
Thank you
Cool, liked this one. Helped me a lot
Great to know, thanks
Very helpful! Can you explain how to combine Source and Navigation in one step and add to parameter as source
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
Great video ❤. Thank you.

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.
You're welcome, hopefully they'll improve it soon
