Connect with sharepoint table view
Connecting to a specific view is one of the options when setting up the initial connection (it may be under advanced, you may need to select the 2.0 connector version). By default, it won't use a view, but instead display all rows and all columns.
Yes, Is is displaying all columns but it is not showing data in some columns (who needs to expand) though data is present in sharepoint
If you're seeing columns with data in sharepoint that are not showing in PQ, then it's probably a "lookup" column type in sharepoint. These columns are foreign keys to some other sharepoint table. Sharepoint's GUI covers over this and just shows you the value, but PQ points to only that one table.
You can expand these columns, causing PQ to query the other table. This is (or at least was) achingly slow because it caused a new query call for every line individually. Alterntively you can connect to the second table and merge it in yourself.
Yes, you can click the expand arrow for the column to choose which properties you want. Things like "people" type columns have like 20+ attributes you can get out of them, so they're not all expanded by default. Be mindful that if it's a multivalue column, it will add those extra rows to your table.
