Importing a .pbit file into a new .pbix

‎11-13-2023 10:36 AM

I have created a .pbit template that has two tables within it. Both tables were created from .csv files. When I import the template, Power BI automatically opens the last .csv files that I opened. Is there a way to have Power BI not automatically open the recent files and instead, provide a dialog box to allow me to select the .csv files to include?

Thank you so much! As the article said, that was not intuitive at all. I added a parameter for the two input files and works perfectly!
