Issues connecting to sharepoint credentials error
I found the solution myself, and it is not very intuitive. There is no "change data source type" option, unfortunately, so this is what you have to do:
Step 1: import data source (again) from SharePoint as a SharePoint folder.
Step 2: go to Advanced Editor and copy data source code.
Step 3: go to your original table that points to the locally stored data source and replace the data source code with the new code.
Voila! It works.

hi dniedrauer,
I am having problem trying to following the steps you mentioned and hope you can explain what I have missed.
Step 1 - I perform the get and read the data from the SharePoint folder from the desktop
Step 2 - I place the sharepoint URL
Step 3 - I hits credential error.
Note - the path I used to read from the SharePoint is correct.
Question -
How to proceed to your second step as I have already encountered error on the first step?
I copied and pasted your steps given in your previous post.
Step 1: import data source (again) from SharePoint as a SharePoint folder.
Step 2: go to Advanced Editor and copy data source code.
Step 3: go to your original table that points to the locally stored data source and replace the data source code with the new code.
Thank you.
