Connection to SharePoint Folder

[Anonymous]

I have had my organisation creat a public group sharepoint site, for me to upload excel files on to in the following folder structure:

->Monthly Reports

       -> Capex

                 ->Excela1.xlsx

                 ->Excela2.xlsx

                 ->Excela3.xlsx

                 ->Excela4.xlsx

       -> Opex

                 ->Excelb1.xlsx

                 ->Excelb2.xlsx

                 ->Excelb3.xlsx

                 ->Excelb4.xlsx

I am trying to connect to the Monthly Reports top folder, so as to pull all the excel workbooks, however am getting the following error when attempting this:

@Anonymous,

What URL do you put in SharePoint Folder connector of Power BI Desktop?

Please make sure that you are entering the  site URL of your SharePoint site in Power BI Desktop,  if you are using SharePoint online, please use Microsoft account authentication, if you are using on-premises sharepoint, please use Windows authentication.

Hi,

I'm experiencing this.  Is there an issue with sharepoint connection?
