I appreciate any help. I wish things like this weren't so convoluted.

Hi @christopherocc 

 

yes I agree with @lbendlin   answer, you have to match privacy level across all sources. Hope below yotube videos will help you to solve the problem

In my originial post I stated that all privacy levels are the same. They are all set to none. Am I not udnerstanding something?

Privacy levels must match across all sources. 

 

Are these true Web connections or are you accessing Excel files on Sharepoint?

I am accessing Excel files on Sharepoint.

Then you should use SharePoint Folder connections, not Web connections.
