    Hi Ghislain,

    Yes. Please use the following link  to connect to excel file located at OneDrive for personal from Power BI Desktop.

    https://onedrive.live.com/download?resid=AAXXXX&authkey=AAXXXXXXX&em=x&app=Excel

    Replace the bold parts with the resid and authkey that are found by right-clicking on the specific file and selecting “Embed”.



    Thanks,
