I can only connect with POWER BI Service but it doesnt fit my needs, since i need to do several calculations with DAX to make my report.

 

Please, help!

Hi @doggo

 

As the Excel file exists in OneDrive for Business, you can use Web connector in Power BI desktop and Organizational account when it prompts us to specify credential. Please note you need to set proper level that specified file has permission to access it. You can set the access level on Excel file itself. See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-use-onedrive-business-links
