get data from sharepoint folder/link using python script

I need to have a new script in Power BI and let it read all files that I have inside this folder. How can I do that? What is folder in sharepoint?

The most simple code to do this task:

 

import pandas as pd

 

# data loading and processing
path = "C:\\Users\\nelda\\Documents\\Projects\\project1\\dataset.csv"
dataset = pd.read_csv(path)

 

However I am not sure how to do that for sharepoint.

Potentially could just use the web url for the file in SharePoint. Otherwise, perhaps this will be of assistance:

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Thanks but that doesn't work, 403 error message. That actually does not work for many people.

in the sharepoint folder there is an option to select "Sync". This creates a folder in your computer. You can use that folder to create a path like you would with any other folder located in your computer
