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:
