Get Data

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Please could someone help me with this issue?

I'm trying to set up a power BI to Sharepoint folder.

These are the steps I have followed:

1. Open BI Desktop 

2. Get Data

3. Other

4. Search for Sharepoint 

5. Use Sharepoint List 

6. Copy my Root URL 

7.  I want to get to this folder -> Operations-> Data-> All orders Report

8.  So I click on Operations

9.  And I get this

10. Now I'm stuck - how to read any of it (it says Table contents is empty) and all of the files say null.

Any help be much appreciated

Thanks

Thanks @parry2k managed to do the job! Got another problem now though 😞 

Do you know why I have got mixed date creations? (Some as actual Dates and some as errors that say could not parse the data ? 

Thanks for all the help

@Anonymous are you going to use files from the SharePoint folder, like excel or CSV files? if that is the case then you should use the SharePoint folder to getting data instead of the SharePoint list.
