I am trying to connect Power BI to SharePoint to source my data and create a report. I see 3 SharePoint options under Get Data in Power BI. I am not very sure which one to use. I tried all 3 (SharePoint folder, SharePoint Online list and SharePoint list) but I end up with an error mentioned below:
The url I am using looks like:
Any help is appreciated.
You should use Sharepoint Online List.
This would prompt a message that would ask for your site, where the list is stored
The site URL structure should look like this
https://organization name.sharepoint.com/sites/site name/
After that, it would ask for your login details and finally a navigation pane with all the assets of that site including your list. In my case, Test 2 is the list.

SharePoint Designer deprecated please check these two articles:

You could try to follow some advice mentioned below:
Step 1: Create a new list item on your list. If it works, go to step 2. If doesn't, check our list columns (or content types of that list) - specially calculated fields and lookup fields.
Step 2: Create new custom form by SharePoint Designer 2013. If it doesn't work, try to clear SPD cache in location:
c:/Users/[your current user]/Appdata/Local/Microsoft/WebsiteCache

I have made a list in SharePoint online and even got succeeded in connecting the SharePoint list with the Power BI desktop via the URL. Once the data are loaded and queried,only the names of the tables are listed down (Only in the query editor but not in the home view) but not any of the columns or data values.It returns that the table is empty.It`ll be a great help if someone could help me with this and Thanks in advance for any help.
After struggling with this same issue, I finally fixed it by updating the data source settings in Power BI desktop for the particular SharePoint connection.
Go to Data Source Settings -> Select the SharePoint source you're referring to -> Edit Permissions -> Re-enter credentials and log in
This should allow you to see the data in the list when you refresh the data set. If not, I would suggest checking that the account used to connect to the SharePoint site has proper permissions.
I want to find 3 top most viewed pages in the entire site collection and display their page titles. Using Web analytics webpart, I got top most 10 pages URL. But i want the page title and the not URL. Is there anyway to do that?

This post(http://auditlogsp.codeplex.com/) can give you a reference. The solution can help us to log the source of SharePoint events , actually include the 'Viewing' action.You can store those information at an isolated database for analyzing the “top” reports.
I'm looking for solution to office 365 and sharepoint online like this:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/93558/Displaying-a-SharePoint-List-from-another-team-sit.aspx
I'll try to displaying a sharepoint list from another team site, like in this article but with no results.
I want to display items from List A on Site A to List B on site B.
(e.g.:
http://company.sharepoint.com/SiteA/Lists/ListA
http://company.sharepoint.com/SiteB/Lists/ListB
And result:
“The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the data source. Check the format and content of your query and try again. If the problem persist, contact the server administrator
Please help!
I have a basic solution that uses AHAH to display a snapshot of a view in another site:

(cross-site snapshot)
For your issue, you'll need to povide more details. For example: is it for authenticated or anonymous users? Which Office 365 plan?
I just finished my first web Part for Sharepoint WSS 3.0 and I'm very excited.
What it does is that just makes a connection to the TFS (team foundation) to get the OPEN and FIXED bugs by Sprint (We actually use SCRUM agile Process). Then takes both values (open & fixed) and puts them in a sharepoint list. A chart is fed with that list (using codeplex's web parts).
In the other side the web part retrieves information about the current team names from the Project Server, it follows the same procedure but it just feeds a Sharepoint list.
Any recommendations on performance or anything else would be much appreciated.
PD. i will set this as a community wiki 'cause there is no correct or wrong answer, just waiting for your feedback =D.
I'm a bit confused... Your webpart populates the list with values from TFS?
If you use a webpart, the list is populated only when someone visits the page and EVERYTIME someone visits the page.
Wouldn't you want to populate your SharePoint list using a console application or a SharePoint timer job that runs every so often?
To go a step further. Use federated search. In SharePoint (MOSS) you can specify locations (content sources) for the search service to index. This data will then be queryable in your sites. Using either custom scopes / customized search queries you can retieve data and then filter / display it on your sites.
