I think it's the statement "The same .pbix can't be opened and edited at the same time by different users." I was never exactly sure because I can't check across my organization and ask who has the file open. So in that sense I just gave up and made a local copy.

    I have tested with 2 pcs and this was not the case. Although the file was totally closed it couldnt be opened. Problem with local copy is that in the moment you refresh the data if the data source is in a shared folder you'll have an error. I am going to make further experiments..

     

    thanks,

        Hi,

         

        To access the file include file name and format . e.g Lets say you want to access the Test excel file "test.xlsx".
