Hi all,
I currently have an excel workbook which has a data source of a set of folders and it lists the files within the folders.
Currently - this source is a shortcut to a sharepoint folder on my local device which obviously isn;t ideal if others want to update the contents as it is mapped to c:\users\myusername.
When I try to set the online sharepoint folder I get errors?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @BarryFletcher,
What type of url did you use Get Data wizard Site Url field and can you share a screenshot of that setup? And which authentication did you use?
Did you follow the below steps to set this up?

Thanks for suggestion - had to change authentication method to connect to the companies sharepoint site and it worked
