Hi All,

My credentials are validated no problem, but I am getting the following error when trying to run the upload on the my comma separated CSV file: file: File extension specifed in relative url doesn't match with the File Type selected.

Hi welyk1974,

Are you able to replicate this issue? If so, perhaps if you shared a screenshot I could point in the right direction. From the error message, it sounds like the file you are selecting is not a csv file extension, but you indicate that it is. If the extension does match, perhaps you could reach out to Domo support at support@domo.com. They would need to know your instance, the file and see some screenshots to troubleshoot further.

Hope this helps!

Here was the solution:

We had the same issue and worked with a technical solutions rep to figure it out. The issue was actually in the Sharepoint account setup. We were connecting to a sub site in sharepoint and not the root and had setup the connector to goto the root of the sharepoint url ex: https://companyname.sharepoint.com/ but you have to goto the SharePoint Site root so we cut it a little short. It should have been https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/ in the accoun relative URL. Also make sure that when connecting to a SharePoint document, if you have spaces in your naming conventions use the %20 for any spaces.

Part of this solution worked for me. What ended up working for me was this:

Sharepoint Account Connector Settings
1. https://<companyname>.sharepoint.com/sites/<sitename>
When trying to pull data using that account
1. Credentials
  1. The sharepoint account setup earlier
2. Report
  1. Document
3. Server Relative URL
  1. For File
    1. /sites/<sitename>/Shared%20Documents/<document>.<extension>
  2. For File in folder
    1. /sites/<sitename>/Shared%20Documents/<foldername>/<document>.<extension>
4. File type
  1. Whatever your file type is
5. Sheet name
  1. Optional

For some reason I had to overlap the /sites/<sitename> in the credentials and the relative url. The relative path also worked with and without %20 being used for spaces. I hope this helps someone because it was driving me crazy.
