Hi All,
We're trying to pull an XML file from Sharepoint. We've managed to get the URL (https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/ICT/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?Cmd=Display&List=69D82854-8622-421D-BE44-F1...) and this works fine when used within a browser.
However, when we try to add it into the Edit Script we keep getting an error which reads
---
A name was started with an invalid character:
On line number: 40. On column number: 10. System ID:
---
We are 99.9% certain this error points to the Office 365 login page (the invalid charater being an & symbol within /login.srf)
Does anybody have any ideas how to get around this. We have no idea how to pass our Office 365 login credentials through QlikView.
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Server or desktop ?
have you tried on the same machine with the same windows session?
Hi.
It's just the desktop at the moment.
We've tried it on a couple of different machines all with the same result.
I've attached a screenshot of the error within the Edit Script wizard to give people more idea.
The Delimited tab shows '403 FORBIDDEN' which is what leads us to believe it's to do with the Office 365 login page.
Thanks. Glyn.

However, just as we found this, we actually managed to extract the data within Sharepoint into a HTML data file, so we are now pulling the data directly from that instead. It is much easier. Thanks for all your help though! Much appreciated!!
