How Many Excel connections

‎03-12-2018 02:27 PM

Hello

 

I have a simple question, I want to create a report from 4 different Excel workbooks, those are located in Sharepoint, is the any limit for the report to have connections for differents Excel files, I ask because later this report is going to the Services and I want to have a schedule refresh.

 

Thanks in advanced

Harrinson Atehortua.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

For Excel files located in on-premises SharePoint site, after publishing reports to Power BI Service, you would need to add each excel data source under on-premises gateway.

 

For Excel files located in SharePoint Online, you don't have to configure gateway for data source. The dataset will be updated automatically.
