I am having a load of trouble linking to an Excel file in SharePoint 2010. I can find the file in Power BI application, but I cannot seem to get to the file in desktop Power BI.
In the app version, you can search for the file as there is a message:
Do not have the URL handy? You can click Connect to see the content available to you at the root level.
On the desktop version, no such help exists, it only asks for the URL.
I have tried copy-paste the URL from my sharepoint folder - does not work. I have tried to simplify the address back to the company root (https://xyzcorp.sharepoint.com) - this DOES work but I cannot figure out the syntax for getting into a sub-folder. I suspect this is because the folder I'm trying to access is in a sub-site ... stumped on how to get there.
I've tried https://xyzcorp.sharepoint.com/SitePages/sub-site name/folder name/
I've tried %20 for spaces in the file folder names but that isn't working either. I am 100% sure I'm signed into my SharePoint site. Additionally, I've provided my login details in the Access SharePoint dialog box and confirmed they are correct.
1) Can anyone help with how to get into the sub-site?
Rhetorical - why does the app make linking to SharePoint so easy with the user helper while the desktop application doesn't?
