Connecting to a Sharepoint List to Interrogate the Data inputted
Hi folks,
Would any of you have a step by step guide on using the Office 365 Sharepoint Metadata connector in Qliksense Cloud to connect to a Sharepoint List so an app can interrogate the entries?
I have only found the following which only references the possibility rather than explaining how to. I also can't see any examples in the QCC.
As I try to muddle through it I'm getting 404 Not Found or 400 Bad Request errors.
Thanks,
Accepted Solutions

Hello future readers,
I worked this out - seems very simple now but I remember when it didn't seem simple so I'm posting the steps below in case anyone else comes across this:
To access data from a Sharepoint List you must use the Office 365 Sharepoint Metadata connector (note Metadata in the name of the connector).
- To access data from a Sharepoint List you must use the Office 365 Sharepoint Metadata connector (note Metadata in the name of the connector).
- Your base URL is the sharepoint address of your organisation up to the .com - i.e. https://myorganisation.sharepoint.com/
- Change consent level to none, authenticate, copy the authentication code, paste it into the add data connection window, and hit create
- Now when you add data from files and other sources; the space that you created this connection in will have a metadata connector down the left hand side.
- When you select the connector, click on lists (but don't tick the box). In the Site/Subsite Path input the relevent teamsite e.g. teams/myteam
- Use the preview data button, find your list from the results, and copy the id for it from the first column
- Now click on ItemsFromLists section again without ticking the box
- Paste the id to the ID for List and again input your teamsite as the site/subpath. If you wish you can input a particular view but I'm not explaining that here. Should be self explanatory once you've completed this.
- Preview data and now either tick the box beside ItemsFromList to bring in every field, or select fields individually.
- SImply hit next and you're done!
Hope this helps someone. As I say, seems very simple now but it wasn't once!
