Adding excel tables to dashbaords

The capabilities of power bi to create tables is very limited at the moment.

 

Is it possible to add tables from excel to my power bi report or dashboard?

Hi @jonnynd,

 

To pin the Excel tables to a dashboard, there are two ways you can try:

 

1. If you are using the desktop version Excel 2007 or later, as @donsvensen suggested, you can install Power BI publisher for Excel add-in then pin elements to a dashboard. For more information, please refer to this article: Power BI publisher for Excel.

 

2. If the Excel is stored in OneDrive for Business or another group-shared document library, you can connect to this Excel in Power BI Service, then pin the table to a dashboard. See: Pin a tile to a Power BI dashboard from Excel.

 

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
