Linking to SharePoint Subsite error 'OData: The feed's metadata document appears to be invalid."

[lordgeordie]

Hello

I am very new to this so apologies for being an idiot if this is an easy fix.

I am trying to link to lists within my main subsite on sharepoint.

when i try to connect it displays this error? OData: The feed's metadata document appears to be invalid."

Now i have tried the master site and that works fine, but i can't connect to the subsite.

do you guys know what could cause this? It seems to work on other subsites?

Thank you for any help with this, i am on Sharepoint 2010

Did your issue ever get solved ? I am seeing the same thing.

Thank you

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?
