Firewall Error

In Excel, I save the path to Sharepoint and I retrieve it using Excel.CurrentWorkbook(). 

 

I put all my excel a variables into the xl_Val Record. 

 

 

 

 

let

    SharepointBaseURL = Text.From(xl_Val[SharepointBaseURL]),
    SP_GetFile = SharePoint.Files(SharepointBaseURL, [ApiVersion = 15])

in

    SP_GetFile

 

I get the following error.

All my sources are set to organizational. The Sharepoint is not shown in Local Data Sources, but it is in by global sources. I tried to buffer the variable, but no luck.

The query dependencies do not show the Sharepoint QueryPQ _ SP NOt Shown.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I use Paramaters for the Sharepoint URL, the dependencies look different.

Is there any way to get the URL from Excel and use it to get the sharepoint files? @pqian

Thanks Jimmy, 

 

I am going to keep firewall setting and will use a parameter as input.

Hello @CubedFluidity 

 

you have to include this query "xl_Val[SharepointBaseURL]" also into your main query.. meaning not referencing it only.

Another solution should be to disactivate the firewall in your options

Kudoes are nice too

Have fun
