Switching between working local/online
- What I would do, is to always have it pointing at the SharePoint Files.
This will mean no matter when you access it, it will be consistent, and allow you to refresh the data.

As long as there is any Quary that enumrates the local dive, the PBIX cant be published to the service, even if you employ a if statement & a parameter to switch sorces.
So the trick is to convert the Quary that conatins the local sorce to a function (remember to delink the function you created using properties) & then detele the orignal Quary. Call the function in the IF statement in place of the local quary table .
This way the table listing the local drive does not activate till the condition is tru & a connection is not created untill the parimeter wants it to.
Continew to work on Local as it help in faster preview with no internet latency during develeopment & when you are ready to publish switch to sharepoint souce. This time the If statement skips the function so the table is not created & hencewill not be part of the publish.
You need to refresh once then you can publishing without any errors.
