Solved: Re: Data source error message for Web/Sharepoint

Anonymous · ‎06-05-2019

Hi,

Trying to connect monthly excel file from sharepoint and get the following error message;

"Unable to Connect

We encountered an error while trying to connect.

Details: The input URL is invalid. Please provide the URL to the root of a Sharepoint site, or to the service document or entity of its OData Feed (with no query of fragment part)."

I copy and pasted link where the file is stored on sharepoint folder site.

Unless I've not set this up correctly?

Many Thanks

Sophie
