Hi Varin 

You could push live qnap nas data to Power BI Service.

Create a Power BI streaming dashboards

In addition, there is a tip "How to Integrate Power BI with QIoT Suite Lite" from ONAP support.

    Hi v-juanli-msft. Thanks a lot for your reply. I appreciate your help. However, I don't think this is quite what I'm looking for. I am trying to find a way for Power Bi to get data from excel files in my QNAP NAS. The data is normal data in tables, not live data. Right now I'm synchrinizing data from the NAS to OneDrive for Business Account and let Power BI get the data from there.

     

    I am wondering is there a way to do this without using OneDrive as a bridge?

        Nope. NAS synchronizes to OneDrive. It's been working fine though.
