analyze in excel file uploaded to sharepoint but cannot refresh

[wpf_]

Hi I am using the analyze in excel feature in PBI and I created a pivot table to replicate my visual in PBI.  I then uploaded the excel file to sharepoint.  However I cannot refresh on there.  I am getting the error below.  Does anyone know what I can do to get this to refresh on sharepoint? Thanks

Hi @wpf_ ,

Since users need to refresh the dataset, and refresh for external connections is not supported in Excel Online, it’s recommended that users open the workbook in the desktop version of Excel on their computer.
