you are using wrong link while taking the data

Use https://isdnholdings.sharepoint.com/sites/TDSGroup instead  https://isdnholdings.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/TDSGroup/

Try using the 2nd link, if it doesn't work then try the first one.

Hi Mani

Thank for share the 2 links , after watching the video , now i think the issue is , the share point folder path is share from my HQ , and i am unable to access thru PBI.

Hi All

@Paulyeo11 , 

Check with the sharepoint link and to replace local folder data to sharepint folder follow the steps in raadacard example. 

You have to replace the source settungs in M query, not in data source settings.

Hi @Paulyeo11 

With the file connected you should see its contents in the query editor?

Try closing and restarting PBI Desktop.

One way is to use the Sharepoint Folder connector to open https://isdnholdings.sharepoint.com/sites/TDSGroup then locate your file
