get data from files on a sharepoint site

Hello,

i have built a powerbi report with some excel files, which are located on my personal OneDrive for Business.

Now i want to make these files also availabla for my team. I thougt about putting these excel files into a sharepoint site and want to connect these files on the sharepoint site with my current PowerBI report.

 

Has anyone experience in getting data from a sharepoint site?

 

Thank you in advance

Serhat

Hi sk,

 

You don't need to open in excel online, you can click on "..." then select "Get a link". Copy the one marked "Restrict link" in the selection list (the others link do not work)

 

Kind regards,

thanks Dan for your reply!

 

i tried this with the restricted link and it does not work. I get the notification that the URL is not valid.

@sk I haven't used sharepoint data sources but there are number of connectors available for sharepoint data sources.
