Dear All,
We started using Onedrive in my company which ended up having our own username in data source's paths.
Therefore, whoever would like to refresh the Power BI destop, needs to change the source first to the new path with his/her own username. Something like:
C:\Users\ username \OneDrive\Desktop
Is there any way to automate it? For example to create a parameter that will automatically find the name of the current user and adjust it automatically in the data source? In VBA there's a function Environ() that is really helpful, not sure if something similar exists in Power BI.
Thank you in advance.
