Sharepoint folder limit?
I've just created a new Document library, which works for now.
I would like to know why this happens. I just had the same happen to me with CSV files. 2 showed up, but there are 7 in our library. The Sharepoint site (a group) has 4,200 or so files, so it isn't the 5,000 file limit.
The "fix" is to change the source line that Power Query generates. Get rid of the [ApiVersion = 15] at the end.
That will allow it to pull everything in there, even if there are more than 5,000 files, but I wish I knew what that APIVersion was really doing. I thought it was just limiting it to 5,000 files, but it is obviously doing more. When it is in place, my file count that is returned is around 3,100 files, so not sure why the other 1,100 or so are being excluded.
