Sharepoint as data source

I am currently storing info on Sharepoint in a document file. I am trying to pull the File Type, Date added, date modified and ther persons name who created the file into PBIX. I can get everythign but the Name of the person who created the file. 

 

Any pointers?

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Which conncetor do you use when you get data from SharePoint?

 

By my tests, if you use the connector SharePoint Online list, you could see the Author and Editor column.

It is not a list but a document libarary. 

Hi @Anonymous,

 

By my tests, if you use the SharePoint folder connector to get data, I'm afraid that there is no column for the person's name who created the file.

 

You could submit your idea in Power BI ideas Forum.
