Create your PBI File and Go to Query Editor (Edit Query) and go to Manage Parameters:
Create the parameters for you Datasource like this sample:
Next Step: Go to Source: And Select Parameter
Next Step: Export like Template Power BI & Close
Finally Open the Template and Enter the datasource
Vvelarde How can it do that? I mean do I have to upload the file and then hit refresh?
I am starting with Power Bi that's why Im a little bit lost.
One way In Power BI Desktop:
1: Refresh your data. Recommend maintain your Excel File with the same name with previous version.
2: Publish to Power BI Service. This replace your reports with older data in PowerBI.
Other way is saving your data en OneDrive
