Query Editor Source File

When i send power bi file via email to some other person. Once he opens the file and click query editor, there he faces issues related to source location. To resolve the issue, he needs to change source location according to his own file location.

Any smart solution to this problem?

Hi @NaeemShahzad123 ,

Creating a shared drive could solve your problem. Or Same Directory like a specific folder name in drive C etc.

Btw, why you don't publish your report on Power BI Service or report server and then share it through that?
