Power bi model, imported Excel from SharePoint

Hi there,

I have a quick question.

Is there a fast way to keep table "offline"?

 

One of the tables is an Excel file import from SharePoint.

I would like to " disconnect" it from source so it won't refresh, but keep that table as static dataset.

 

Is there a quick way to do it or I should create new table with data from Excel.

Copy the file path and remove"? web=1" to look like URL below:

Choose your authentication method, for this example I am choosing Organizational account.
