Embed Excel doc from Sharepoint
Hi Anonymous,
I totally forgot that the HTML Viewer visualization can only render local HTML in Power BI desktop. This may not work for your issue if everyone is using the pbix file in desktop mode. Sorry about that!
For reference if you ever want to use it in a published report, loading a networked or web based page within the viewer is just making an html iframe tag in a value table. This video shows a pretty solid example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syzA3PZx3qk
Hi CiceroBC ,
Sorry that wasn't clear. The users have an Office 365 account so they are sharing the document on SharePoint. They do not have a PowerBI online account so the online PowerBi method I found I cannot share with them. They are still tracking some sales accounts that have been transitioned to someone else in our system, so the filters are a manual and the excel doc is how they are keeping track of them.
I think the HTML Viewer might be what I'm looking for! I added the visualization to PowerBi but I'm not sure how I use it? All it asks for is a category.
I did insert a link to the document on each tab so they can quickly get there, not the end of the world if I can't have it on one of the tabs.
Thanks!

No worries, thank you for checking!
