Hi @FaisalBaloch 

 

It seems you didn't use the correct connector or enter a valid URL with the correct format.

 

If you want to connect to a single Excel file stored in Sharepoint online, copy its link from Sharepoint online and use Get data > Web in Power BI Desktop. It's similar to connect to an Excel file stored in OneDrive for Business. 

Use OneDrive for Business links in Power BI Desktop

 

If you want to connect to a Sharepoint folder which contains multiple Excel files and hope to combine them into one, you can use the SharePoint Folder connector. Paste the address into the Site URL text box in the SharePoint folder dialog box, which is similar to https://contoso.sharepoint.com/marketing/data.

Power Query SharePoint Folder connector
