I have never used the Workbooks section of an app workspace, but now I got the idea of using it for Excel users to publish their data to. It would be great if I could then use this data in a dataflow. I couldn't think of a way to do this. Does any of you know a nifty trick? I already created an idea because I am pretty sure it can't be done, please prove me wrong!

Hi @JohanvdBrink,
You're right, currently, published workbooks in service is not a supported data source type of DataFlows. Thanks for your feedback, if this submited feature request is mentioned by many users, product team would consider adding it in the future.
Regards,
