Broken links to Power BI sample datasets

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the raw Excel data behind the Power BI sample datasets so that I can demonstrate the whole "journey" from raw data to dashboard/report. However, when I tried accessing these from the Power BI samples page I was confronted with a broken link:

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-sample-datasets/

This is the same for each of the 8 sample datasets.

I am able to download the .pbix files, as well as the Excel PowerView workbook by Obvience. However neither of these give me what I need, which is the raw Excel data.

These links need updating/repairing. Alternatively if the Excel data sheets are no longer being provided, these links should be removed from the Power BI site.

NOTE: I accessed the above link via the 'Tour' pages for each of the sample data sets.

Hi @Anonymous,

Can you show us screenshot about which "tour" page and which link is broken? Generally, we can get Power BI samples files here: What sample data is available to use with Power BI? .

Hi,

Here is the page I was looking at:

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-sample-retail-analysis-take-a-tour

After the first paragraph, before the image, there is a link:

You can also download just the dataset (Excel workbook) for this sample.

This link does not point anywhere. This is the same on all of the other 'Tour' pages for the sample data. The Excel workbook links all lead to a 404 Error.
