Just to clarify for the rest of the world.   MS updated the document after I submitted this issue.  Previously it indicated that .pbix files could be uploaded from One Drive for Business.  

I also love how MS can claim 'Delivered' when in fact they took a step backwards.  Wish I could do that in my software business!
