You can identify where a BI is pulling the information (by importing the data).

I have a BI document ready and now I need to identify what excel file is taking as a basis.

Hi @lysandr0 ,

 

You can import excel here, and then go to power query to use it as the base data source for data modification.

@lysandr0 Not sure I am 100% clear on this but if you have a Power BI desktop file, go into Power Query Editor (Transform data). Find your query and click on the gear icon for your Source step.
