OData Connector column error - greek letters

[Anonymous]

Hello,

i have a sharepoint list with 20 columns . I want to get only 4 columns to my power bi. I don't want to use sharepoint connector and remove the other columns to Power Query, So i use OData connector 

<site url>/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('List Name')/Items?$select=ID,Column1,Column2

.

When i try to insert column like 'Title' 'Id' etc its ok. but when i try to insert a column in greek language like 'Έτος" (Year) i have this error : OData Version: 3 and 4, Error: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.  (Cant find 'Έτος")
Also , i find column internal name from the url  (List settings -> Click on the column name -> It’s at the end of the URL on the Edit column page, after ‘Field=’.) and i have something like this : _x0388__x03c4__x03bf__x03c2_  but i have the same error.

Can you help me?

thanks,

Maria

Hi @Anonymous 

I searched for related content about connecting to Odata, and there is no related description of language restrictions. But from your current results, Greek letters are not recognized. Perhaps you can update these column names with Greek letters to English letters, then try again?
As for the question of Greek letters, you can provide your suggestions to Ideas.

Hi @Anonymous 

From the results you returned, it seems that the column 'Έτος' is missing. Can you make sure you have this column name in SharePoint list ?
