All;
I am looking for a way to open an XL file with a button in Power BI.

We use Sap and the version we currently use does not allow for Power BI to go and get the data. So we have several different vba codes that extract the data from SAP through RFC calls, scripting etc. which leads us to an excel file with the data. Accessing the data that is now in the xl file is easy.

The hard part is when in power BI to get to the xl file to run the “update data” code.

We we can open the xl data workbook with simple vba from another xl workbook, but without vba inside Power BI, how could this be done?

Thanks for your thoughts and advice.
 

Excel Facts

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
The question is not how to refresh the data feeding power BI from the XL workbook.

It is HOW to open the Excel work book from the Power BI so that the VBA in the XL workbook can be activated and update the XL work book from SAP.
