How to transform data in PowerBI when my data source is an Excel file in the cloud

Hi,

 

I have an excel file in my OneDrive For business. And I have followed this step to export to PowerBI Publish to Power BI from Microsoft Excel - Power BI | Microsoft Docs.  And I click the 'Go to PowerBI' after the publish. I see PBI loaded with my table under 'Fields' on the right pane.' 

My questions are:

1. How to download the .pbix file so that I can create the report using the PowerBI app on windows (instead using the PowerBI online)?

2. How can I transform the data in the excel table?  e.g. in my excel table , i have 2 columns: count and total. I want to create a 3rd column in PowerBI so that equals to  {count} / {total}.

Hi, @sacheu 

 

It’s my pleasure to answer for you.

According to your description,It seems that you can't download the report created in PBI Service. However,you can connect the dataset in desktop,then create the report and publish to service.

Like this:

You can create a column like this:

column =
DIVIDE ( table[count], table[total] )

If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

@sacheu , Based on what I got. You have an option to download the pbix in power bi service if the author has not disabled it https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-export-to-pbix

 

What you are looking at will be better as a measure not column

 

new measure = divide(count(Table[Column]), Sum(Table[Column]))
