Hello,
I even feel bad for writing this trivial post, but I spent last 5 hours trying to figure this out, but it seems I am lost.
I need to load a folder, which is shared on OneDrive, where other department is submitting their weekly files, and to pick up the most recent one, so I can configure scheduled refresh in the workspace.
Normally this whole query is working fine, when utilized on locally stored folders, or online files stored in OneDrive.
But now I want to access whole OneDrive FOLDER, instead of FILE, and cannot make this work. I tried all the suggestions I found to use either Folder/SharePoint Folder/Web connector, but everytime there have been some problem:
Folder/SharePoint Folder connector was complaining about using absolute path, even though I used it - "https://company-my.sharepoint.com/personal/firstname_lastname_company_com/Documents/Documents/Projec...
This is the example of a intial script I am using and is working fine for all other instances as mentioned above (or for modification for SharePoint connector):
let
Source = Folder.Files(
"https://company-my.sharepoint.com/personal/firstname_lastname_company_com/Documents/Documents/Projects/Onboarding%20App/input_data"
),
FilterRecentFile = Table.SelectRows(
Source,
let
latest = List.Max(Source[Date created])
in
each [Date created] = latest
),
LatestFileName = FilterRecentFile[Name]{0},
#"LatestFile" = FilterRecentFile
{
[#"Folder Path"="https://company-my.sharepoint.com/personal/firstname_lastname_company_com/Documents/Documents/Projects/Onboarding%20App/input_data",Name=LatestFileName]
}[Content],
#"Imported Excel Workbook" = Excel.Workbook(#"LatestFile"),
For Web Connector the problem was that I was not able to select Microsoft Account for authentication, and all other options failed to authenticate.
I dont know what I am missing, or what I am making wrong, but any help would be appreciated. All the related posts I tried out are either quite old or not relevant, and all the guides are about handling OneDrive files, not folders.
Thanks
