Power Query data source settings missing SharePoint list connection option
Hi,
I seem to be missing the option for connecting to a SharePoint List, via Power Query in Excel 2016 (Office 365 version). We have an enterprise license for Office 365.
I can however create an Excel file as a result of the export-to-excel feature in SharePoint, but this alone will not solve my problem.
Any suggestions as to the reason for this?
Thx.

- Hi, i believe it is because you are not on Enterprise but on a Business plan. It is only with 'E' licences you get Office ProPlus which give you the full connectors in Excel, business plans get basic features.
