Dear all,
I have columns that are showing errors in Power Query in Desktop PowerBI as shown below. I have tried cleaning access permisions. Did not help.
HPPP SPOC field type is "Single choice Person" and I get 404 error.
It seems URL is wrong, As it shows in xml when I past "OData__x006a_is1Id" in the browser. In Advanced Editor I have "OData_jis1Id" so I am lost why the URL is reffering to field without "Id" at the end and how to change that. If I change column name to "OData__x006a_is1Id" in Advanced Editor of PowerQuery it throws me "column not found error". Chicken and egg... Attaching Advanced Editor source at the bottom. List xml too long. I may paste it in another post if needed.
Action owner email field type is "Multiple choice Person" and throws error 500. Looks similar... I have data under "Action_x0020_owner_x0020_emailId" and it looks under Action_x0020_owner_x0020_email.
Advanced Editor:
let
Source = SharePoint.Tables("XXXXXXXXXXX", [ApiVersion = 15]),
#"f4a67e47-b7b2-44ec-af3b-aeb6ff11ef0f" = Source{[Id="f4a67e47-b7b2-44ec-af3b-aeb6ff11ef0f"]}[Items],

Hi Ed!
Not sure what y mean? It is showing me exactly as in screenshots above, no matter if I click on "Record" or "Table" or white space within same field.
Data is there. Find below extract of list item from web. "L2rt" being "MSM Owner email" column from above screenshot - column that works:
So when I check "l2rt" online I get the object as below:
When I do the same for "OData__x00a_is1" I get an error though data is there:
Similar for the Action owner email column. Will not paste here as I assume problem is of similar nature.
Cheers!

If you click on the white area next to the yellow word Record or Table, it will show you the contents of that record/table below.
Either way, this doesn't appear to be a Power BI issue, but something you need to get with your SharePoint admin and see what is going on with these fields in the list.

MCSA: BI ReportingCan you click on the white area next to the yellow "Record" label? It will show you in the window below what is in that record specifically. If there is nothing, there is your issue. If there is something, then it gets more complex as it could e that record has data, but another record is returning the error message.
