Hi

 

I don't see the Data Source type as Azure FIle Share in the available list.

What I meant to say is if you have mounted Azure File Share on Gateway then you should be able to access this data source as Folder path. 

Below link has details on how to mount it.

Mount SMB Azure file share on Windows | Microsoft Docs

 

There is no inbuilt Azure File Share connector available as of now.

    Hi,

     

    We can mount the Azure File Share on windows and can be accessed from the PowerBI Desktop.

     

    But in my case our PowerBI reprots are hosted in portal.

     

    Can we access Azure File Share from PowerBI Reports from Portal?

     

    Thanks
