as title says I am trying to read the Excel file placed on online SharePoint using the OData component in SSIS.
I am trying to make an SSIS package that will update my database in sql server with the data from that Excel file. I managed to do that when my file is placed locally.
I also managed to see my file using by adding /_vti_bin/listdata.svc/ inside target URI, i get an Share Point list where one of the components is my excel file, but I can't open it that way.
Also I need to use credentials to access the SharePoint.
I would be thankfull for any help :D
Acceptable solution would be to download that file first, but I haven't managed to do that either.

I have created a tool using VBA that performs several pulls from BigQuery and does a variety of transformations and summarization inside of Excel. The tool is an evolving tool and to make sure that the users are using the most current version of the tool, I would like to have a version file saved on the shared Teams page that the tool would check and if needed, download the newest version onto the tool to the user's folder. I have scrubbed the web for several solutions to this ask but not one that actually works. Below are the links to the solutions I have attempted. The issue is that the connectors for opening text files seem to not work with a URL from Teams. I need to know how to make this work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This solution doesn't seem to work with a URL as I get a Bad Filename error.

Problem with this one is that the download for some reason shows completed but actually never moves local.
Connecting to Excel file stored on SharePoint via ADODB

I attempted to use this solution using the text file connection string but was not successful here either.

Again, another bad name error.
Any help or advice on how to connect to a simple text file shared in a Teams folder would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking for a way to open a .iqy file from script and save the file that i get.
Context: Where I work we currently try to automate the process of renaming building elements. For those we have the properties saved in an SharePoint Excel file and we want to find a 1-Click-Solution, where a programm fetches the data from the SharePoint tables and uses ArchiCAD API to get those changes into the project.
If anyone knows a comfortable way to get the data from SharePoint (tried REST API with not much success) or the .iqy file, i would be very grateful :)
Kind Regards

I have a spreadsheet that is stored on a SharePoint site and I would like to link to this spreadsheet to create a "live" table in my Access database. When I go to Get external data->Excel->Link to the Data source by creating a linked table, I get an error because the filepath begins with http:. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks!
You cannot link to a web site, or a file sitting on some web site. You need (must) use the windows file networking system for this to work.
You thus could as a workaround download the file local, and then link to the local file.
I have multiple Excel Web Parts in my SharePoint 2010 site. Each web part is connected to an Excel work book which is generated automatically by a scheduled task on a separate server. Given this, is there a way to automatically map a newly generated excel file to an existing excel web part instead of manually updating them?
I saw a tutorial but it uses the SharePoint dll and other dlls which are found from the SharePoint server itself and as far as I know, I can only execute these items if I have SharePoint installed locally. Is there any way to make it work without having to install SharePoint locally? By the way I was referring to this tutorial from MSDN.
Edit
I was able to create web parts programmatically using SharePoint.Client.WebParts but I'm having problems creating Excel Web Access Web Parts.
I was able to make it work by using the same concept found in this page.
All that I needed to do was properly escape quotation marks from the exported web part file in order to map the correct file.
