Connecting to Excel

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

It's been a year since I used PowerApps but I thought when you click on Data Source, you then click New Connection, and then  (in my case) the shared OneDrive.   After that I thought you would continue to drill down by selecting the folder in OneDrive, then the Excel file, and then the table.   I am not able to get past the OneDrive part as it does not prompt me to drill down to the folder, no matter how many times I click OneDrive.   What am I doing wrong?
