Hi,
I have this situation...
I have a Excel file, which I edit in real time on my laptop, weanwhile I want to show some of my data of it for public on second screen as are this data changing. I would like to be offline. Is there any way to do that? At PowerBI or whatever?
Thanx
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Jan_Kalina,
Based on my research, you could upload your excel file on OneDrive or SharePoint Online,when you connect to your file on OneDrive or SharePoint Online, a dataset is created in Power BI. Data from the file is then imported into the dataset in Power BI. Power BI then automatically connects to the file and refreshes any changes with the dataset in Power BI.
You could refer to below reference:
