I'm using PowerQuery by creating a dataflow in Fabric. When I'm trying to Get Data from a Sharepoint, I need to filter the folder path due to the number of files and folders I have. I use Folder Path, then click "See More", then type in the text to search. But it's not showing any results. The values are clearly there, I had to scroll a lot to find a sample.
Is there any reason for this behavior? I encounter this from time to time, but sometimes for other dataflows I create I have no issues.
Solved! Go to Solution.
you have too many items and/or folders. Use the Text filter option to narrow it down. or use SharePoint.Contents() for manual navigation.

Power Query is case sensitive. So if you type the search text, a mistake is easily made! I know from experience....
The data and screenshot you provide dont give enough information to make me sure this is your problem though...
