Helper IHow to upload a stand alone document in Power BI app
Hello,
How can I upload a stand alone Word document in Power BI App? I know I can put the file in SharePoint and link to it from the App. But we have external users and we do not like external users to access our internal SharePoint location. Is there a way to load a stand alone document in Power BI service?
Thank you,
Xin
HI xli53051 ,
Is this a static word document? If it is, then you can just make this into an image and use that as the visual.
Or, you could create a new open security share in OneDrive and then link the report to the OneDrive location and you shouldn't have an issue.
Or, you could add a text box visual and copy/paste from the Word document into the text box in Power BI.
