Get folder details for Sharepoint List entries

Hi gents,

 

I'm right now struggeling a bit in getting all relevant data for sharepoint online list entries in the correct way.

 

Actual setup:

- sharepiont online list with folders for different locations (yes, it's a list, not a library)

- several items in the single folders on the list

- online connection to sharepoint list via Power BI

 

What I actual see in PBI table:

- each single folder of this list

- each single entry of this list

 

What I do not see:

- folder location of every single entry

 

What's the actual problem:

- need to filter list entry by folder (location)

 

Any ideas?

 

Regards

There are types where you can use to connect to sharepoints.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/sharepoint-contents
Use any of the type according to your requirement in the advanced editor.

Thanks.

 

But also woth fetching the contents of the list I can not find any possibilities for this lookup...

Maybe I'm doing it wrong or mybe I oversee something?
