Qlikview cannot open excel file on sharepoint using connector

paul_ripley — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 21:26:37 GMT

I have been using QV Sharepoint Connector to connect to Excel files on sharepoint. Until yesterday this worked but now i get the message

File not found error

Cannot open file: 'http://localhost:5555/data?connectorID=Office365Connector&table=ListFiles&subSite=%2fsites%2fPS-Finance-GroupFinancialReporting%2f&folder=%2fsites%2fPS-Finance-GroupFinancialReporting%2f%2fShared+Documents%2fMonthly+reporting&maxResults=5000&appID='

The file exists, and QV has permissions (i have been told) but yet It cannot open this file

I attach the log from sharepoint connector and the script from QV. The error mentions a problem with the table ListFiles

Would anyone be able to help thanks

@paul_ripley have a look at the following knowledge article, not sure if this is it or not, but wanted to pass it along.

Thanks Brett. I'm not 100% sure what the issue but that may well have been it. I upgraded the connectors and it worked after that so i think it was this issue

Thanks
