brett_walton,

What connector do you use to connect to the SharePoint list in Power BI Desktop, SharePoint List or OData feed? Do the problem SharePoint Lists contain special columns, for example, calculated columns? 

Regards,
Lydia Zhang

    I tired both O data, and Sharepoint List , the lists do not have calculated columns but have multi line text fields , hyper links ? Also one has more than 14K lines , is that an issue ?

      brett_walton,

      That is not an issue. What URL do you use when using OData feed entry to connect to the list and what type of authentication do you  use? Please help to provide us a fiddler trace so that we can further troubleshoot the issue

        Thank you for the suggestion to use Fiddler, I am pretty sure my URL and credentials are correct as I can access other sub-pages of our corp (on prem) sharepoint site that have lists attached to them. I am not a sharepoint or windows person so I requested help with our admin to look into this, I will follow up with results.

         

        thank you ..
