Consolidating data across multiple SharePoint Surveys?

I've created a sharepoint site dedicated for participant feedback surveys for events. At this moment, there are 30 surveys (lists) and the expectation is that it will double in the next 6 months. Strategic management would like to collect the information across surveys for analysis. I know I could add each list individually into PowerBI but is there a better way to collect this information?

 

I've also considered creating a "Linked Source" within SharePoint then have PowerBI refer to that but it's not working as expected.

 

Any advice/suggestions is deeply appreciated!

Hi @v-ortsun,

 

Current power bi not support use multiple certificates to get data from a same sharepoint server.

 

>>I know I could add each list individually into PowerBI but is there a better way to collect this information?

I'd like to suggest you merge the specified document and analysis this merge file.

 

Steps:

1. Get data from the sharepoint.
2. Filter at "Folder Path" and "Extension" columns to choose the specify files.
4. Merge these content and analysis them.
5. Combine the table list from above steps.

 

Query sample:

 

let
    Source = SharePoint.Files("https://xxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxxxx", [ApiVersion = 15]),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each [Folder Path] = "https://xxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxxxx/Shared Documents/" and [Extension] = ".xlsx" ),
    TableList = Table.SelectColumns(Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Rows", "Custom", each Excel.Workbook([Content])),"Custom"),
    Combine= Table.Combine(TableList[Custom])
in
    Combine
