Connecting and refreshing Excel workbook data

[heidienho]

Power BI can connect to and refresh data from Excel workbooks in OneDrive and OneDrive for Business. Are there any future plans for other file shares like dropbox or on-premise resources?

I could suggest currently using Power Update in order to update the data in your Excel (Power Pivot/Power Query) workbook for On-Premise data. It also does give you the ability to update your data, as well as upload it into OneDrive for Business.

You can read about it here: http://www.powerpivotpro.com/2015/02/introducing-power-update/

I hope that it helps!

Thanks
