I'm using the "Get Data" to extract tables from pdf documents.

This feature works great except for when my file is stored on an MS Teams channel.

In this case I use the following steps

1. Copy the file location in Teams

2. Get Data>From File > From PDF

3. Paste location.

4. Click OK

Upon clicking "OK" my mouse pointer clicks twice, but nothing really happens.

The same scenario happens even when I want to get data from another XLS file stored on MS Teams.

The link you get from the Copy link function in teams won't generally work as a file path. You should open the file in Sharepoint and get the link from there.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I open the folder in Sharepoint and then clicked "Copy Link" That resulted in the same problem.

Then I tried to click Details>Properties>Path>Copy Direct Link. When using this option the Get Data works as expected.
