How to link to a hidden SharePoint List

Hi everyone,

 

I have a SharePoint list thats hidden, as in you need the specific link to access it. When I try to link to the list in PowerBI, there's no folder to input so I've been unable to link it. Please help.

 

Thank you.

@Anonymous,

 

Please check if you can use the OData URL  below to connect to this list. Put the URL in OData feed connector in Power BI Desktop.

When I try to link via OData Feed I get an authentication error"We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided".

 

My link is in the format "https://site.sharepoint.com/Subsite/subsite/Folder/SitePages/Mylist.aspx#InplviewHashbf4m4dl-22t6-82..."

 

I've tried excluding everything after the # and everything after Mylist but I still recieve the same error.

You should use the following URL.

https://site.sharepoint.com/Subsite/subsite/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Mylist
