Download to Excel from PowerBI Workspace

Hi,

 

We have uploaded an Excel file to the Workbooks section of our Power BI Workspace (the section which has Dashboards, Reports, Workbooks).  Is it possible to download the workbook as an Excel file, so that the user can update and interact with it on their own computer?  Thanks

    Hi annie_12

     

    If you upload an Excel Workbook from your PC you cannot download it and edit it from what I can see.


    What you could do, is to have the Excel file stored in OneDrive for Business or OneDrive personal, and then connect to the data in the Power BI Service via OneDrive.


    That will then give you the ability to grant permissions to other users via OneDrive, where they can then access the source Excel file, and update as required.
