Hii @Indie 

 

Linking your Excel file to Power BI is very simple. Just follow these steps:

1. Open Power BI Desktop >> Home tab >> Click Get Data
2. Choose Excel >> browse and select your file
3. Select the sheet(s) you want >> Click Load

Your Excel data will now appear in the Fields pane on the right, and you can start building visuals.

Read this and watch the video.  You basically need to use Power Query to load the data from Excel into PBI

Beyond that, you will need to be specific about what you are trying to do and what you want as a result.
