Sent a link to Excel sheet -- get message it's >30 MB limit to open in browser.
Installed BI Desktop to hopefully get access...is there any way to use that link to open the file on the desktop?
Hi @dpb,
What's the link?
Best Regards,
Dale
Hi @dpb,
1. Open the file in Excel.
2. Get the link from the Excel.
3. Get data with Web connector. (Delete the part followed "xlsx").
Best Regards,
Dale
Well, if I could open the file in Excel, I wouldn't have a problem would I? 🙂
The whole point is the file was shared and that's the link that was forwarded. Now mayhaps the sender screwed up, I don't know...
