Hi all,
Wondered if anyone could clarify what I should expect to be able to do with Excel files uploaded to the Power BI office 365 Portal in relation to external data sources.
To put this into context we have recently locked down SQL access which has left some users with quite a few Excel files with a combination of sharepoint and SQL data connections which now have issues accessing the SQL servers locally.
I've had some success making use of the on premise gateway with Excel files with a data model I've tested, but I've been unable to find any documentation related to hitting data sources/files stored in SharePoint, is this even possible? And how would it handle authentication?
I guess putting the file in SharePoint would be the exact opposite issue, or can Excel files access stored in SharePoint make use of the on-Premis Gateway?
I've attempted to research this but I've been unable to find an awful lot of quality documentation, any help pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Matt
