Trouble seeing Excel files in Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

Hi, 

 

I have just spent weeks creating an Excel Dashboard using power query. I plan to update the data using MS forms thus preventing common folk at work from breaking the spreadsheet.

 

I have managed this without an issue before but my excel was based in Onedrive. I have uploaded my file to sharepoint and can not see it in the file directory when looking to connect my flow.

 

I can see some excel files that are in this same location but not all of them. I have already tried changing its grouping, unprotecting my sheets, creating new simple documents incase it was size related but I can't see these either. I have checked the documents permissions and meta data and there's nothing abnormally different to the handful of documents I can see.

 

Any assistance with this issue would be greatly welcome. 

 

Thanks

    @Owens please can you create a test library, add your document and try fetching this file in flow from new library. Just trying to replicate the issue in another library.

    @jinivthakkar this has worked, my next issue will be to convince work that I'm allowed to create a new library on the sharepoint as they are very specific.

     

    Thank you.
