    After you have imported the Excel spreadsheet, then click on "Edit Queries".

    From there, right click on the excel spreadsheet, and remove the check that says "Include in report refresh"

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     


    This should change the excel data to static data.

    You are sure, the field is unchecked?

     

    I have just tested it from here, and my BI report is still functional after i have deleted the Excel File.

    Anonymous  You have to hit Close and Apply after unchecking "Include in report refresh". Otherwise your changes won't be applied.

    Then try refreshing it will work perfectly ;)
