You should be able to do this in the Desktop but not aware of a way to do that in the service. I tried this in the service by selecting "Local File". It it allows me to connect to the file, prompted for user name and password (I used a Share link) but then it tells me that the file type is not supported (it is an Excel file and Excel files are supported). I then tried this in the Desktop and it pulled it in OK but seemed to bring it in as a web page XML document. So...use OneDrive?

The URL may be wrong or you might not have provided the right credentials to the server". close the window and gone to "data source settings" and tried all possible convinations but could not access to the excel file stored in box. error dosplayed
