Describe the bug / error
When using the SharePoint list connector in power query for Excel, I have lists which are supposed to load all columns, but have recently started loading only rows/columns shown in the default view. This change has happened recently.
M:
= SharePoint.Tables("https://XXX.sharepoint.com/sites/XXX", [Implementation="2.0", ViewMode="All"])
Steps to reproduce
- Create a connection to a SharePoint list in Power Query for Excel (Data > Get Data > From Online Services > From SharePoint Online List
- At the dialogue, select implementation 2.0 and view mode - ALL columns
- Load the data from the list and validate that columns/rows missing from the list's default view are not loading.
Expected behavior
I expected all rows and columns to load, because this is what has been selected.
