Hi,
As part of my datasets some sources include excel files from my desktop. I've set up a gateway for my SQL data which works fine however I cannot seem to understand how to set up the excel file so that it automatically refreshes and is available to all my end users.
I've tried putting them in a sharepoint/onedrive folder and then using the direct link as the source data but I can't get it to work.
Could someone please advise on how to set up excel file correctly? Do I require a gateway and if so, how do I reference the excel file?

Best,
