Dear All,

I have a powerBI file with source set to local excel sheet placed on my c drive. Now I have the same excel sheet place on the sharepoint and I want to use that sharepoint file as a source.

To change the data source from excel sheet to sharepoint I need assistance of experts. Could you please guide some of the steps to follow in order to successfully change the source from c drive excel sheet to sharepoint excelsheet. Thankyou

 

Regards,

Raheel Farooq
