Get Data from SharePoint not default Document library

[Keyvan]

Hello Experts,

Is there any simple way to get data from non default SharePoint Document Library?

I have bunch of Document library within my site and can not read an Excel file from them.

Thanks in advance.

Yes. When you initially connect to a SharePoint library, you are initially given a Source connection string that looks like this:

= SharePoint.Files("https://TenantName.sharepoint.com/sites/Reports", [ApiVersion = 15])

Change it to this:

= SharePoint.Contents("https://TenantName.sharepoint.com/sites/Reports", [ApiVersion = 15])

 Then you will see a listing simliar to this:

Shared Documents is the default library, but now you can click on the Table value for any folder and continue to drill down that way until you get to your files.

The only issue with this is you can only ultimately see one folder at a time. SharePoint.Files will allow you to work with many folders at a time. SharePoint.Contents only shows one.

Hello Edhans,

First, Thanks for your replay.

Which data source you select?

When I selech Sharepoint folder it doesn't give me that screenshot that you had shared!
