Connect Sharepoint excel to Power BI for autorefresh

[Anonymous]

Hi Team

I have connected my Power BI dashboard to a standard excel locally. I want to set up auto refresh for the report. I want to save the excel to a sharepoint site, so that user can replace the excel on weekly basis. How to connect the excel which is in sharepoint. So that every time new file is replaced , my dashboard can be auto refreshed on a particular day and time. Please help.

Hi, @Anonymous 

You need open Excel file from SharePoint Online/OneDrive for Business in Excel Desktop App to get the link path first.Then use 'Web' connector to access the file path in PowerBI Desktop.

Need to notice that when you paste the file path into the URL field, you must delete ‘?web=1’ from the end of the file path.

You can also use a SharePoint folder as a source.

Please see these tutorials for more information.
