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

Hi ccsrtw,

 

I mean recreate .pbix is to click Get Data and choose Folder data source to retrieve data, instead of pasting original Power Query. I want to check if the issue is related to the folder path or Power Query. Please let me know the test result.

 

Also please try to update the desktop to the newest version 2.40.4554.463.

 

Best Regards,

Morningv-qiuyu-msft,

 

I updated to the latest version. Went through the Get Data > Folder process and received the exact same error. Does this imply an issue with the path?

 

Thank you for following up!
