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 Query
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
