How to publish a report whose data source is csv files from a network share?
Hi all
This may be simple for many of you but I'm struggling to figure out how to get it to work.
Basically, I have developed a dashboard using Power BI Desktop. The data source I used was "Folder" as I need to pull in multiple csv files from a single folder (they get appended in Power Query). The source folder in question is a SMB network share. There will be a new csv file added to this folder daily. This all works fine when I'm purely working locally in PBI Dekstop on my PC.
I want to now publish this to the Power BI Service so that I can give access to other people to view and explore this report. But I want the published report to always have the latest data included in it.
What is the best way to achieve this?
