I want to get data from files located in a local folder using dataflow Gen2 in Data Factory from Ms Fabric.
I am able to do it Ms Power BI Desktop.
However, unlike PBI Desktop, in Data Factory, I cannor see the Browse button (see image)
I tried to copy and paste the respective path to the respective box, but the "Next" button is not activated so that I can proceed.
Any suggestions to solve this issue?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Maybe you need an on-prem data gateway to do this, because the file seems to be on your local computer.
Or place the file in OneDrive / SharePoint first, then you don't need the on-prem data gateway.
