Close a file

HI  I am new to Power BI and after I load data, ceate reports and save, I can't see how to close the file to open a new one or close and exit. The 'Close' option is not available from the File Menu.

 

Is it simply that we have to X out of the application?

@majidmx,

 

That's correct--click the "X" at the top right to close Power BI. You can also right-click the Power BI Desktop icon in the task bar and click Close window, or use Alt-F4.

Someone please explain the logic of not having a report close feature vs closing the whole BI desktop App, otherwise this seem stupid beyond all belief...
