DataSource.Error: SharePoint: Request failed

Hi,


I am using Power BI Desktop and trying to query data from an Excel file stored on a SharePoint Online site.

 

 

let
    Fonte = SharePoint.Files("https://eletromarquez.sharepoint.com/sites/EDPAutomaoeTelecom",[ApiVersion = 15]),
    #"Linhas Filtradas" = Table.SelectRows(Fonte, each Text.StartsWith([Folder Path], "https://eletromarquez.sharepoint.com/sites/EDPAutomaoeTelecom/Documentos Partilhados/Produtividade")),
    #"Linhas Filtradas1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Linhas Filtradas", each ([Extension] = ".xlsx"))
in
    #"Linhas Filtradas1"

 

 

 

I get this intermitent error:

 

 

DataSource.Error: SharePoint: Request failed: https://eletromarquez.sharepoint.com/sites/EDPAutomaoeTelecom/Documentos Partilhados/Produtividade/8 - Agosto 2020/Produtividade Agosto 2020 - NAME OF FILE_xlsx/_api/contextinfo
Details:
    DataSourceKind=SharePoint
    DataSourcePath=https://eletromarquez.sharepoint.com/sites/EDPAutomaoeTelecom
    SPRequestGuid=97d2889f-40d6-0000-68ed-304cacb0d4d7

 

 

 
Intermitente because sometimes the query works and sometimes don't, besides that the file pointed at error message changes at each error.

Looking for solutions in this forum, I saw that some people had the same issue but with no definitive solution. 
Example: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/DataSource-Error-SharePoint-Request-failed/td-p/210387 


Previous suggestions I've tried and didn't work:
- Update Excel and Power BI (I tried to query in both applications)
- Clear permissions and log in again.


Sorry my bad English,

 

Best Regards,

Eduardo Donato
