Hi MatiasVizzari ,

It seems the issue be caused by unsupported data source, currently Power BI don't support .dbf file. You can check this documentation for Power BI supported data sources. In addition, here is one similar topic shared on Power BI Ideas, you can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature.

Best Regards

Rena

    Good day, thanks for the answer, the issue is that in power bi desktop I have it working and updating without problem, the problem is when I upload it to the service in the power bi panel, because it is the only way I can find to update it automatically , since being tables in DBF it is necessary to update it daily so that the data is updated.
    unless there is something I don't know could be done.
