Cannot check out and edit pbix files in SharePoint 2013

[nwilli9]

Looking for any options to setting up pbix files to be opened and edited through SharePoint 2013. Typically when opening files it prompts for a check out before being able to edit, but currently it is only downloading the file with no option to edit.

Hi @nwilli9 

Sharepoint doesn't support you to open pbix online currently. We only could download the pbix and open it.

Your demand is a good idea, while it is not supported to implement in Power BI currently.
You can vote up this idea for this function: Sharepoint file handling .pbix

Or you can submit a new idea to improve the Power BI.
It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.
