Hi,
I am using an Excel file stored on Sharepoint site and I would like to keep the folder dynamic.
It currently hits an error during data refresh on Power BI Service.
Here is my code:
strFolder = TblFolder{0}[Data Folder],
Source = Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents(strFolder & "Alibaba.xlsm"), null, true),
Appreciate your help.

You can create a query parameter with foldernames. Then apply the parameter to code, make the str folder = the parameter name (Folder Name in the example). Something like:
strFolder = TblFolder{0}[Folder Name]
Source = Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents(strFolder & "Alibaba.xlsm"), null, true),
