    Hi Jose Vilar ,

    To fix the error "An exception occurred: DataFormat.Error: The input URL is invalid. Please provide a URL to the root of a SharePoint site, or its OData feed," follow these steps:

    1. Ensure the URL points to the root of your SharePoint site and does not include additional paths, queries, or fragments. The URL should resemble this format:
    https://yourOrganization.sharepoint.com/sites/yourSharePointsite
    1. Ensure you have the required permissions to access the SharePoint site and list. You need at least read access for the import. Verify you are signed in with the correct credentials, and if necessary, log out and back in to confirm proper authentication.
    2. Double-check the SharePoint list URL for any errors such as typos or extra characters. Ensure the URL is clean and direct, without unnecessary slashes or spaces leading to the SharePoint site. Also, confirm there are no network connectivity issues by accessing the site and list directly through a web browser.
    3. Check your regional settings to ensure they are accurate. Sometimes errors can occur due to differences in regional settings. Make sure that the region mentioned in the error message matches the region settings on your device.
    4. Clear your browser's cache and cookies. Outdated cache can sometimes lead to problems with authentication and connectivity. 

    Following these steps should help resolve the issue and enable successful import of data from your SharePoint list into your Dataverse table.
