Getting Excel file content from different SharePoint sites
Hi,
I have several SharePoint sites that have an identically named folder which contains a Excel file. I would need to go through a list of site URL's, get the files and append these files into one table.
I have a separate SP list with all site URL's which I filter to get the list of URLs I want.
I also made a custom function which gets the Excel file from the correct folder given an URL as a parameter:
(URL as text) as table =>
let
Source = SharePoint.Files(URL, [ApiVersion = 15]),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([Folder Path] = URL&"/powerbi/")),
#"Filtered Hidden Files1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows", each [Attributes]?[Hidden]? <> true),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Hidden Files1",{"Extension", "Date accessed", "Date modified", "Date created", "Attributes"})
in
#"Removed Columns"
I am able to get the content as binary into my table by invoking the function but when I try to 'Combine Files' it gives me an error on Formula.Firewall.
Url list
Invoked function to get contentError on combining
I went through a couple of threads with similar issues and read through Ken Puls' blog, but I can't get my head around on how to fix the issue.
Any help on this issue?
Thanks in advance!

I enabled 'Ignore Privacy Levels' in the current file and the error disappeared. However, is there a solution to the error other than ignoring privacy levels.
