Connecting to a Single Excel File on Sharepoint

I can connect to my SharwePoint site library just fine using the sharepoint folder connector. I need one file but the only option is to "combine", which adds many helper queriesa nd parameters. How do I connect to just one file at a time?

 

I tried the web connector but that doesn't connect.

Hi @j_ocean ,

 

You can use SharePoint folder or Web Connector to connect a single excel.

 

1. SharePoint folder.

2. Web Connector.

 

Follow the steps below to get the file path directly from SharePoint Online:

  • Select the Excel file
  • Click Details
  • In the Details pane, scroll down in the pane to find the Path section
  • Click the Copy Direct Link button

Then paste the link into the Web connector, and log in to your SharePoint account.

Best Regards,

Hi @j_ocean 

Open the Excel file in SharePoint and copy the File path (File->Info) and delete the "?web=1", then change the Source to this, it should be working

Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents("https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/XXXX.xlsx"))

 

What connector do I use with that?

Hi @j_ocean 

 

From Web, or blank query

Ah. Well I know that won't work here. Thanks though.
