    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    When connected to excel in SharePoint, it depends on how you import it. If it is import, it will form a dataset, if it is connect, it will form a workbook. Please try again according to my test.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    What does the sentence "got to create a report it says there is no datasets" specifically mean, and whether the excel dataset imported from SharePoint is successfully displayed in datasets. Is there an error dialog box that pops up if there is no dataset? Please provide detailed error information and screenshots, I will answer you as soon as possible.


    Looking forward to your reply.

    Best Regards,
    Henry

      Sorry that should say go instead of got.

      There is no errors. I have successfully connected the excel file from SharePoint. I can see the spreadsheet in my workspace but it does not show as a dataset.
