Hi everyone,
I'm using Powerbi desktop to connect to my Sharepoint site, and to 2 lists successfully.
I'm trying to connect to a third list, but I got an error :
DataSource.Error : Désolé... Nous n'avons pas pu analyser le résultat de la réponse OData. Erreur : A 'PrimitiveValue' node with non-null value was found when trying to read the value of a navigation property; however, a 'StartArray' node, a 'StartObject' node, or a 'PrimitiveValue' node with null value was expected.

    DataSourcePath.2=https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/Quality/_api/Web/Lists(guid'abfdac26-5e7b-4175-9417-355fb528f838')/Items
I can't have a preview of data, and of course can't connect and load data.
I used to work with dozen of lists on this sharepoint site with success, I don't know this one is not working. I checked the fields, there is no Lookup or special columns.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks !
I've reinstalled Powerbi, still not working. Any ideas of what could I try to find where the bugs come from?
Hi ProFe ,

Hi @ProFe ,
I am unable to reproduce your question at this time. Have you tried recreating the list and connecting again using Power BI Desktop? Make sure Power BI Desktop is the latest version.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Thank you for your reply,
Unfortunately, I can't delete & recreate this list since I use it in many flows & powerapps, therefore it would break lot of things.
Power Bi Desktop is up to date, and it looks good with other lists.
I made a few research and it seems that this error message is often seen in power automate, when one mis-edit a lookup value.
