Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous 

Take a look a Power Apps and Power Automate.

With Power Apps you can generate a user-friendly App that allows them to change the data held in the Excel Spreadsheet.

With Power Automate you can create a "flow" that says something like "When the data in the spreadsheet changes, then fire a Refresh on this Dataset".

Both Power Apps and Power Automate are Microsoft applications, licenced separatly from Power BI, but tightly integrated with it.

Hope this helps

If in a dataset contains different sources, one is from database connected with ODBC, another is from Excel files, I want to make adjustment in Excel data and refreshed to Power BI, do the Apps soulution support this multiple data sources?
