Open zipped file

I want to open a zipped text file that I found on the web.  The file is located at https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/microdata/earn/index.html.  The Navigator after Get Data, Web does not show the two zipped text files on the site.  Any way I can get passed this?  I do not really want to download the file on my machine.

Hi Cmotsiop,

 

According to your description, you need to use online zip file as the data source in Power BI desktop, right?

 

Based on my research, online zip file is not a supported data source in current version of Power BI desktop. If you have any concern on this feature, you can submit your idea on the link below. If this feature was mentioned by mulitple users, product team will consider to add this feature to next release.

Hi @cmotsiop,

 

   sorry but it gives me "Page not found". Can you re-upload the link?

I've found this, maybe can help you.

Let me know.
