    I managed to find a workaround to filter the file that i needed -

HI,

 

After going into each step, i discovered that i created a filter on xlsb. this is the one blocking PowerBI services.


So conclusion:

- Powerbi desktop works with all type of extension

- Powerbi Services does not works with xlsb (ok with xlsm).

 

thanks!
