Hi  Anonymous 

Did you get the excel file through the power bi service? Since you mentioned getting binary extension files through PBI, make sure you have access to these excel files and your organization's IT allow you to connect excel files using cloud services.

 

If you still have questions, please contact us in time.

 

Best regards,

Hi v-yadongf-msft,

 

Apparantely I solved it....no vpn or credentials needed since I was connected through network wire.

Just link directly to folder path even if it located on a remote server desktop.

 

Many thanks anyway..
