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.
Just FYI/Update.
PowerBI Documentation states the following:
Can I use an Excel document from a SharePoint Online document library?
If the document is in the root Team site, you will be able to connect to it from Power BI by going to Get Data > Files > SharePoint - Team Sites. If you have a subsite, those will not be available, and files will need to be moved to OneDrive for Business.
