Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Use Sharepoint folder connector and apply filter to get the list you need.

I used and I get above error. As my folder has too many files.

 

structure looks like - 

Shared Document > folder1 > folder-2 > files(has docx, xls), folder3, archives

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

you may need to filter also the data types that you only need to resolve the issue

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

As per the screenshot, the list only contains Microsoft Word documents not supported in PQ. You can only be able to import documents type as per your second screentshot.

 

To combine files, you must apply the filter for the same document type (e.g. xlsx / xls).

Thank you!

I need the details from Docx and yes it's not working. Hope in the future will have that option.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

One workaround is save all files as PDF and use the PDF connector to import those files. 

 

Regards
