PowerBI Paginated Report Accessing Azure File Share
Hello Guys,
I've few questions on accessing the Azure File Share from PowerBI reports. Please clarify
- Can we mount the Azure File Share so that PowerBI reports can access them as a normal path?
- Do we need to add another connection of type Azure File Share to the PowerBI report? If yes, how can we access the file after the connection details are provided?
Thanks

Yes, we can mount Azure File shares on Windows and then access it as a normal path in Power BI Desktop.
Below link has details on how to mount it.

We do not have any inbuilt Azure File Share connector as of now if this is what you are asking.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
Do we have an option to access the Azure File Share from the Paginated Reports hosted in PowerBI portal?
Thanks

You should be able to do it if Azure File share is mounted as data source at PBI Gateway.
