I posted this on Forums > Desktop, but I believe here (Forums > Service) is the right place as I'm talking about powerbi.com.
Let's say I have the following case:
- Sales Analysis.pbix on enterprise LAN (\\SERVER_XYZ\department_folder\Sales Analysis.pbix)
- Source: .CSV on enterprise LAN (\\SERVER_XYZ\department_folder\file-one.csv)
- Source: .XSLX on enterprise LAN (\\SERVER_XYZ\department_folder\file-two.xslx)
- Source: SQL Server on enterprise LAN (Hostname Address: SQL_SERVER_ABC) -- using "Use current user credential" for authentication
I uploaded Sales Analysis.pbix to powerbi.com using the "Publish" link from PBI Desktop and now I have a "Sales Analysis" report and datasets. I have the following questions regarding powerbi.com functionalities.
- When I opened Sales Analysis.pbix using PBI Desktop locally on my machine I could simply hit "Refresh" and it would use my credentials to get data from wherever source I've set. I always had access to the data in its entirety, since PBI Desktop would fetch it from the source. Now that Sales Analysis is inside powerbi.com and not locally anymore, will I be able to do the same, aka, see and interact with the complete data and not just "samples" of it?
- If, for example, I create another tab with some views inside my Report on LOCAL Sales Analysis.pbix and save, would it update my Sales Analysis inside powerbi.com? Is the local Sales Analysis.pbix linked in any way with the Sales Analysis inside powerbi.com?
- If I manually update/add data into my file-two.xslx, will those changes be reflected in my Sales Analysis inside powerbi.com?
