Excel datasheet as source to Power BI from Google Drive without conversion to Google Sheets

‎03-17-2023 04:05 AM

Hi

 

I have an xlsx file in a Google Drive folder which I would like to use as my data source. However, it looks like I need to convert it to Google Sheets to use it.

 

How can I connect my PBI to my Excel sheet without conversion? Also, since information is confidential, I can't publish my Excel sheet online if needed.
