Sounds like this should be so simple so I assume I'm missing something. In PBI Desktop, how do I CLOSE the currently open file (PBIX) WITHOUT closing out of the PBI Desktop application? There is no "Close" on the file menu.
Hey @domtrump
Unfortunately, Power BI Desktop doesn't have a direct "Close File" option like other applications (e.g., Word or Excel).
Howewer you can vote in this idea askin for a close button: Microsoft Idea
