Office 365 Sharepoint

The Qlik Office 365 Sharepoint Connector enables you to access and fetch data from your Office 365 Sharepoint repository and load it directly into your Qlik Sense app.

Ways to access your data

To access your Office 365 Sharepoint data, you need to authenticate the connector with your Office 365 account credentials. After you create a connection, select Office 365 Sharepoint as your data source, specify the Base URL for the connection, select the prompt/consent level, and select Authenticate. You are redirected to an Office 365 login page. Log in with your credentials to retrieve an authentication code, and enter it into the connector.

Loading data from tables

After you authenticate the connector with your account credentials, use the tables to fetch your data. Below are use cases for some of the available tables:

To select and load data from a table, enter the required table parameters and click Preview data. Required parameters are marked with an asterisk (*). The table fields are displayed under the Data preview tab. You can select fields individually by selecting the box beside each field name. Select Insert script after you have made your selection.

Troubleshooting

You receive an error message that you have reached the API rate limit

Possible cause  

You have exceeded the API limits that are imposed by the Sharepoint REST API.

Proposed action  

To reduce the impact of reaching the API rate limits, develop your app with the following in mind:

• Extract only the data you need.
• Reload one Office 365 Sharepoint-based application at a time.
• Ensure that loops in your script that make API calls will not result in infinite loops.
