Create a new blank query and paste the following M code to meet your requirement:
let SharePointSiteURL = "YourSharePointSiteUrl", SharePointTenant="https://Yourtenantname.sharepoint.com", API_URL = SharePointSiteURL & "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('YourListName')/items?$expand=AttachmentFiles", Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(API_URL, [Headers=[#"Accept"="application/json;odata=nometadata"]])), ListItems = Source[value], ExpandedItems = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(Table.FromList(ListItems, Splitter.SplitByNothing()), "Column1", {"ID", "Title", "AttachmentFiles"}), ExpandedAttachments = Table.ExpandListColumn(ExpandedItems, "AttachmentFiles"), AttachmentUrls = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(ExpandedAttachments, "AttachmentFiles", {"ServerRelativeUrl"}), FinalTable = Table.AddColumn(AttachmentUrls, "AttachmentLink", each SharePointTenant & [ServerRelativeUrl], type text), ResultTable = Table.SelectColumns(FinalTable, {"ID", "Title", "AttachmentLink"}) in ResultTableRemember to cahnge the
siteurl,tenantname, andlistnameto your specific valuesAfter that, format the text in the column as a web URL:

1 year agoHi nok, you can connect to your sharepoint list using
New Source -> Others -> SharePoint Online List
Use the truncated URL of your SP https://yoursharepointname.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx
Click then on Table under the column Items for the correct SP list you want to import
