Not sure if this is the problem, but I recall a while ago running into this and it had something to do with a column in a SharePoint list starting with a number or something crazy like that. I'll try to dig around for the threads for that.

        Good day.  I tried to follow that link but got an error that it was invalid.  Was anyone able to get past this issue?  I am on the March version of Power BI.  When I was using the October 2017 Version of Power BI I was able to connect to my SharePoint subsite List.  As soon as I updated to the March version I get the OData error and CANNOT get pasdt it to produce my reports.

         

        Anyone find a solution?
