Excel Workbook as a Dataset
Hi: Is it not possible to upload an Excel workbook to the Power BI Service and publish that workbook, as a dataset? Thanks! John
Hey Anonymous ,
I think the proper way now is to go the workspace that you want to use, go to New, Dataset:
And THEN select Excel and away you go. That may have always been an option and new way to me, or, that is a newer method than I have used in the past, either way that worked for me!
Yes, I get that far. But, how do you publish it as a dataset? 🙂
Hey Anonymous ,
It used to "just work" where you uploaded the file (and if the file was formatted correctly) it would become a dataset, as described in this article:

I will keep looking as this doesn't seem to be the case anymore....
Thank you, collinq!
