How to link documents on shared folder on a server with power bi report

‎10-10-2019 04:47 AM

I have a virtual machine on which power bi desktop is installed. I want the power bi report made here to have a button/ link, upon clicking which it should redirect me to pick files placed in this folder.

 

I know, we can give a web link of power bi service or any other website but can this pick up files from local folder as well?

 

Is there any way to do this?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

After my testing and researching, I am afraid that you couldn't do it currently in Desktop.

You could refer to the following cases which are similar to yours:
