Dear all,
I need your help, is it possible to open power bi file directly from SharePoint online or Onedrive ? Without downloading the file..
Thank you !
Solved! Go to Solution.
@freginier You can do this if you have the OneDrive Sync client installed and set up, and sync the folder to your Windows explorer, then you can open the pbix files from Windows explorer, save as normal and they'll save to SharePoint without you needing to keep track of the versioning.
