Excel installation

[Anonymous]

Does I have to install Excel in order to refresh a Power BI desktop report that have connection to Excel?

@Anonymous Inorder for refreshing the power bi report you need to keep the report either in Onedrive or in Sharepoint online and your refresh will work fine without any gateway configuration
