Hello,

Does someone knows if it is possible to load data from a google sheet in Power Bi without publishing to the web (company restriction)?

Thanks

Hi @Pauline22 ,

Based on your description,company restriction means  restrict the access to anyone, only people in the company can be able to access the link，right？

The easiest way is to Get Data / From Web, then enter the URL to your google sheet with "&output=xls" on the end. Power BI then analyses the resulting Excel file, showing the tabs as tables , which you can edit and manipulate.

About limitations to publish to web, it is unsupported to use row level sercurity. It is suggested to use other ways to share with colleagues. You may refer the following links.

Publish to web:
