sharepoint folder empty

Hi


New to this but getting better.  Hitting a roadblock with something.

 

I have data in a sharepoint folder.  It's quite far down but it's there.  3 or 4 CSV files I want to import into dataset, combine and play with.

 

I 'GET DATA', 'MORE', 'SHAREPOINT FOLDER' 

Enter the correct information (took a few tries to get this right), make sure credentials are OK then Power BI goes off and get's a load of stuff. (Nice Preview presented)

 

I EDIT that which fires up Query Editor. - Great!

 

One of the columns is the folder path so start to filter to get to the specific folder and it appears to not exist.

 

My 'for privacy' sharepoint link that I can see is below

https://COmpany.sharepoint.com/sites/SITENAME/SharedDocuments/Service/Projects/IIII/

however - the files that I want to see are in 

https://COmpany.sharepoint.com/sites/SITENAME/SharedDocuments/Service/Projects/JJJJ/

And they're just not showing.  There should be 4 CSV files

 

I can see that the process of connecting to sharepoint is working correctly or it wopulnd't present the list of files.  I can see every other folder but just not that one.

 

I haven't found the scenario on the forums using limited knowledge of search parameters so if there's any hints I'd really appreciate it.

 

Thanks in advance

John

    Hi jwalker,

     

    Please check if your JJJJ file is still in your sharepoint folder?

     

    In another way, you could have a check if you could find the file in Power BI Service.

     

     

    In addition, it may be a intermittent issue that others have before, you could try severial times for a test.

     

    Best Regards,

    Cherry

      Cheery - thank you for the comment

       

      Online Version - yes I can see the sharepoint location and can see the files that are there.  However as I wanted to load the Sharpoint Folder (entire) I read that to do so would required using the Desktop Version.

       

      Thanks for the link regarding the potential intermittent issue.  I'll keep trying to get to see if that works
