  • Hi, vilenm ;

    Do you mean you want to connect to excel .pbix file Set refresh schedule right? If so, then you can schedule a refresh directly.

     

    Connecting to on-premises data sources(excel, You have the following options:

    • Choose an enterprise data gateway with the required data source definition
    • Deploy a personal data gateway
