Dear Friends
I am studying Powe BI and following the tutorial as captioned.
My question is why cannot generate the dataset of "Financial Sample" when i upload the workbook to PowerBI service?
Must it install PowerBI desktop or other procedures I missed?
Much appriciated if anyone can give me a answer. Thanks.
Regards,
Bruce

Hi @BruceLei ,
According to the official restrictions, Power BI Service to load Excel workbooks does not need to go through Power BI Desktop, but you need to format the data as a table first.
On the Home tab, in the Styles group, select Format as Table.
Refer to:
Tutorial: From Excel workbook to the Power BI service to Teams - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Get data from Excel workbook files - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
