Hello,
I have created a Power Bi Template and I would like the user to be able to browse for file location when prompted to choose a data source. The screenshot attached shows the prompt that a user gets when he open the pbit - currently, a user needs to paste the file path location of the data source (in this case, a static Excel spreadsheet) under 'Metric-Specific Filepath'.
Is there a way to allow the user to browse for the data source file instead? Copy pasting the filepath is not too user friendly.
Thank you in advance.
