Hi all,
Looking for some answers on connecting to local or network files from Power BI Service. Two part question really:
- Is there a difference in setting up local files (ie. to desktop or basic folder on my device) vs. setting up to a network location? I noticed I can access my company's network files via a weblink in File Explorer so was wondering if there is a way to set up the refresh so that the device does not have to be 'on'.
- If the answer to the above is that the local file connection and network file connection are the same, what are the specific conditions required for refresh to succeed? For example:
- The computer has to be on?
- The computer has to be on but not in sleep?
- The computer has to be on, not in sleep but the screen can be locked?
- The computer has to be on, not in sleep and the screen not locked?
I noticed that my refresh failed this morning despite my computer being on, but it was probably in sleep mode.
Thanks in advance!
Kirsty
