Export published workbook

 

I've published a basic Excel to a Power BI Workspace and now I am trying to re-export it, but I cannot figure out a way to do so. Please note that the Edit button is greyed out/ not available. 

 

Any idea why this is happening? Is it an issue?

 

Thanks!

hi, @bpasol 

If the excel is stored in Onedrive or sharepoint and then you connect it and uploaded it in power bi, you could edit it.

Hi there

It is my understanding that once uploaded it is read only and cannot be edited via Power BI Service.

Hi @GilbertQ ,

 

That could be the case, but what confuses me is that Edit option. Feels like I'm missing something.
