Power Query Relative Path for OneDrive and Other Users
- Jul 19, 2021
That could be like
Source = if Text.Start(filepath,5) = "https" then Web.Contents(...) else Csv.Document(...),
but you shall to clean filepath before (remove sheet name and brackets). You may do in sheet by formula or in Power Query by another if then else. Hope it's possible to find ready to use pattern for both.
That's only parse CELL("filename"). If it starts from "https://..." remove sheet name from the end, substitute [] around filename on nothing and connect like
Source = Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents("https://tenant.sharepoint.com/teams/site/docs/file.xlsx"), null, true),
...
If not, use connection as in mentioned by you thread.
Hi Sergei,
I'm trying to stage the files i need in sharepoint or any other place where the file path is a URL as well but even though i have changed the power query code to:
Filepath = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Filepath"]}[Content]{0}[Column1],
FullPathToFile1 = Filepath & "file.csv",
Source = if Text.Start(FullPathToFile1, 6) = "http"
then Csv.Document(Web.Contents(FullPathToFile1),[Delimiter=",", Columns=23, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])
else Csv.Document(File.Contents(FullPathToFile1),[Delimiter=",", Columns=12, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),
I still get the DataFormat.Error: The supplied file path must be a valid absolute path.
Would appreciate some help on this one.
Thanks
