Sharepoint Site Configuration / Power BI showing only root level folders
Just a heads up:
I submitted a ticket to the Microsoft POWERBI team, and the kindly fixed the issue.
Now, when trying to connect to a specific Sahre Point subgroup, you'll be asked to submit the group's URL address, avoiding the "by default" pointing to the top-level Sharepoint site.
Kudos to the Power BI DEV Team... Awesome team!
Thanks!
Let me be more precise with this issue.
Our Sharepoint server has the following top-level URL:
https://mycompany.sharepoint.com
This root level is defined by the following Folders: FormServerTemplates, SahreDocuments, SiteAssets, SiteCollectionDocuments, etc.
For the purporse of this Visual Management project, we created a new site with the following URL:
https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/mycompany/SharedServices/DashboardsProject
In here, we're planning to dump the datasets that will be imported/synced with PowerBI.
The problem is that PowerBI only shows the top-level folders of https://mycompany.sharepoint.com; our datasets are located on https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/mycompany/SharedServices/DashboardsProject and we can't find a way to point to that site and get the files.
Thanks!
Marco.
mister_arduino - When you initially connect, enter the full URL to the site, https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/mycompany/S​haredServices/DashboardsProject
It should then come up and display all of the top-level lists and libraries for that particular site.
EDIT - I just thought that if you are doing this from the Service, I don't believe it gives you those options. I was doing this from the Desktop. I will try it from the Service.
