    https://m365x96158828-my.sharepoint.com/personal/taojunyan_m365x96158828_onmicrosoft_com/Documents/excel%20folder

     

    to:

     

    https://m365x96158828-my.sharepoint.com/personal/taojunyan_m365x96158828_onmicrosoft_com/

     

    Use sharepoint folder connector:

     

     After authentication, you can access all the files in your Onedrive:

    Click Transform Data and then filter in Power Query, filter Folder Path with the name of the folder you need to connect to.

    And the final output is as below:


    Note, however, that this is just an alternative, and there doesn't seem to be a way to connect directly to a folder in a particular Onedrive that I've tried (without using sharepoint)
