I currently have a problem related to power query. Basically everytime i send a spreadsheet to someone in the same sharepoint as me, they need to open power query and manually overwrite my username(where is written the said word) to theirs PC username, because since they are in the same sharepoint as me the path to the file which contains the data is exactly the same. Is there any function which i can write in this line so the power query editor automatically identifies the current user and corrects the filepath?
No, the current user is not available in Power Query.
Also, it is not good practice to use local data sources. At a minimum use the cloud end of the SharePoint/OneDrive stick.
