Hi ptmk25 ,
Thank you for your response, we understand your goal of showcasing this functionality without relying on workarounds.
At the moment, when creating shortcuts at the folder level, Fabric may not consistently recognize Excel files as structured sources. This is a known limitation in the current preview behavior rather than something that can be configured or overridden.
As of now, there isn’t an alternative approach to force recognition of the file as an Excel source in this scenario. We agree this can feel like a product gap, and we recommend continuing to monitor for updates as the feature evolves. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
Thank you,
Chaithra E.
