How to batch load pbix files?

Hi All,

 

I want to load all the pbix files in one folder at the same time intead of open the pbix one by one. I notice in PowerBI desktop, when I choose  to open the pbix file, I can only choose one pbix file each time. Anyone know what can I do with it? Thank you!

Based on my test, you can select multiple pbix files and right click->open.

May I know why you'd like to open many files at one time? If you'd like to publish all the pbix files, you could import them programatically. Check this github lib.

Sorry, when I choose many pbix files, right - click, I do not have the "open" option, maybe because my PowerBI desktop is a free version.

@rabbitbaiyu

Power BI Desktop is free for everyone, only the Power BI Service has free and pro users.

Could you upload a snapshot of your case? When multiple pbix files selected, after right clicking the "open" is just there.
