Various Errors when Refreshing Google Sheets Data
- 8 years ago
I've not connected to Google sheets, but Steph Loche shows how to use R to connect here. Maybe this works better.
I've found this seems to work for me as I was getting the missing column error all the time (Maybe 1 in 10 refreshes would work.
Warning: This is a bit of a faff so it won't be practical if there are lots of tabs in one document.
I take the google sheet URL:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/randomseriesofcharacters/edit#gid=984654321
The gid=984654321 denotes the individual tab.
I change the URL to this
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/randomseriesofcharacters/export?format=csv&gid=984654321
This will load the individual tab into Power BI through the web connector - like I said not manageable to have so many data sources if you have data in lots of tabs but for individual tabs it's working fine for me.
