I have a sharepoint project with 5000 files. After linking it to Power BI, only half of the links are referenced, and only a couple of the folder paths are not shown. However, when i go to export as excel, all the links and folder paths are correct. See below images (rows 116-119). Would this be a Sharepoint issue, or a PowerBI issue and how would i resolve it?
Do all of the folders have the same permissions in Sharepoint?
I am being told that all the folders have the same permissions.
When you export to Excel, are you doing so from the Power Query editor, from a table in the data model, a visual, etc?
No, the export option within Sharepoint, this file has proper links and folder paths for each file.
It is only after linking Sharepoint to PowerBI and attempting to transform the data in PowerBI, that i notice quite a few links or folder paths missing.
