Hi
I am new to power bi. I need help extracting multiple files from sharepoint folder. Here is my folder structure in sharepoint
I want to extract all the xlsx files then do the transformation.
Here is what I have done till now:
let
Source = SharePoint.Files("https://mywebsite-my.sharepoint.com/mycompany.com/", [ApiVersion = 15])
But this doesn't pull all the xlsx files from inside sub-folders.
Not sure if this "Table.SelectRows" function is the right one. Any help please?
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @ramviv,
You could change the code to the below to ensure files in sub-folders are included.
Depending on the site size, performance may not be great.
#'Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each Text.StartsWith([Folder Path], "https://mywebsite-my.sharepoint.com/mycompany.com/Documents/Yearly-Dataset/")),
