    Hi ccsrtw,

     

    It seems folders exist in SharePoint online, please try the SharePoint Folder data source instead of Folder data source. See:

Hi ccsrtw,

 

From the error message, it seems the file can't be accessed. As you mentioned you have permission to access the file, the issue can be caused by that the file is occupied by other programs or other users. Please use Handle to find all process accessed this file, then kill them to refresh query in desktop to see if issue persists.

 

Best Regards,

Hi Qiuyun,

 

I downloaded Process Explorer (Handle w/ GUI), but I honestly have no idea how to identify which processes (if any) to kill. I killed anything related to Excel, but that hasn't helped. Any other tips?

 

Appreciate the help!
