Download Data Source From Power Bi

There is also possibility of using Sharepoint. I can create a team in Sharepoint with the local excel file and use that as a source in Power BI. Am I correct in assuming this way people in my sharepoint team will be able to see all data in the report?
If you prepare the report using import mode in PowerBI desktop and publish it to PowerBI online, then that report data will be visible to all users with access to the report in the provisioned workspace. The caveat is that data will not be able to be refreshed from the Excel file once the report is deployed online. When you create the report on your desktop, you have access to the cloud data and the spreadsheet, then a copy of that data is published to the PowerBI service. When PowerBI service is set to refresh, then it can't connect to your desktop and causes the issue.
To solve this you either need a personal or standard gateway. This provides the technology for PowerBI to connect to your on-premise (standard gateway) or on-desktop (personal mode) data. Once the gateway is in place, PowerBI can pull data in to the cloud from an on-premise network or a personal desktop to refresh reports.
The other alternative is, as you mention, putting the excel in SharePoint online. This effectively makes the spreadsheet a "cloud data source" and can be refreshed from PowerBI service without the need for a gateway.
Now I have placed the excel file Sharpoint folder so that it can be modified by the whole team. I want to change the data source and pointer to the file on the Sharepoint so that my report is updated from this new location.
I can connect to Sharpoint and select my excel file, but the problem is that I have already developed my entire report which had as source the same excel file but locally. Now I have moved it to Sharpoint and I just want to change the data source of my report.I would like to point out that my excel file contains 7 sheets that represent my different tables used for the report.I want my report updated from the rexcel file that is on Sharpoint.
I'm creating an app and my data source will be in Smartsheet. All updates will be done in Apps and this will be reflected as well in Smartsheet (data source). When i tried it doesn't show the list of tables that I will used as data source. Anyone tried this?
I found this post on the Power Apps Community that lists the types of actions you can do when using Smartsheet as a data source in Power Apps. From this, it looks like you will be able to Insert a new row, but not edit existing data through Power Apps.
If you need to change the data sources being used in a production environment, you may edit the values of the environment variables or update them via managed solution upgrade. Any apps and flows using the environment variables will start using the new values.
However, there may be situations where the data source location changes. Or you need to connect to a different data source, such as when moving from a test environment to a production environment. In these cases, you need to change the data source for the existing Power BI report.
Besides changing the data source for an existing Power BI report using the user interface, it is also possible to modify the data source using M code. M code is the programming language used to transform and shape data by Power Query.
Changing the data source for a Power BI report is significant. It ensures that the report always delivers accurate and relevant insights. Even if the underlying data changes or relocates to a different location, the report remains dependable.
To connect to a new data source, you can update the connection details effortlessly. Doing so will guarantee that your report always uses the most current data available. This is especially useful when moving from a test environment to a production environment. This is because it maintains data analysis and reporting capabilities.
Power BI offers tools to work with various data sources and manage connections across environments. These include connectors and data transformation tools to clean and reshape your data before using it in your reports.
I am converting data source from Teradata to snowflake. I followed the above steps . My table has 2.70lakh records . While loading it , after 2lakh records it is failing with less memory issue . What to do

Microsoft Power BI service (SaaS) can be connected directly to internet-accessible data sources, or to private data sources in an Amazon VPC. Connection to private data sources requires an application component called Microsoft on-premises data gateway. The Microsoft on-premises data gateway is downloaded and installed on an Amazon EC2 instance in the VPC and configured with Microsoft Power BI credentials. The gateway establishes an outbound connection to the Microsoft Azure Service Bus over the internet, and is configured in Microsoft Power BI to connect to data sources that it can access. Larger deployments can use multiple on-premises data gateways to balance load or increase fault tolerance.
Improved security posture: The Microsoft on-premises data gateway does not accept inbound connections from the Microsoft Azure Cloud, and only initiates outbound connections to the Azure Service Bus. This one-way traffic model allows you to keep your data sources private, and not expose them on the internet.
Reduced data transfer out: When connecting to a data source, the Microsoft on-premises data gateway retrieves the entire result set and stores it locally in a process called spooling. Before the results are transmitted to the Power BI service the data is compressed. Users commonly report 10:1 compression ratios, which reduce not only the time to transmit the data across the internet, but reduce egress charges.
AWS recommends that you install the Microsoft on-premises data gateway on an Amazon EC2 instance in the private subnet that contains your data sources. This subnet is configured to route requests to the internet via an Amazon VPC NAT gateway installed in a public subnet. You can use a network address translation (NAT) gateway to enable instances in a private subnet to connect to the internet or to other AWS services, but prevent the internet from connecting to those instances. If you require a highly available data gateway implementation, we recommend using a cluster of on-premises data gateways installed across multiple EC2 instances that span different AWS Availability Zones. For information, see Add another gateway to create a cluster.
The options presented in this section illustrate Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Athena. For a full discussion of all AWS data sources, refer to Appendix: Microsoft Power BI supported AWS data sources.
Microsoft on-premises data gateway connectivity to data sources is straight forward because both the data consumer and the data sources reside within the AWS Cloud. Data sources that live in an Amazon VPC, such as Amazon RDS and Amazon Redshift, can be accessed directly. Data sources that use regional endpoints can be accessed through the Amazon VPC internet gateway, or by an Amazon VPC endpoint.
AWS recommends that you authenticate with AWS data sources using an identity that has read-only access only to the datasets required. The credentials that you enter for a data source are encrypted and stored in the gateway cloud service. The credentials are decrypted at the gateway on premises. (The credentials that you enter for a data source are encrypted and stored in the gateway cloud service.)
Data transferred from the Microsoft on-premises data gateway to the Microsoft BI service incurs VPC egress charges. Customers report a 10:1 compression by using the data gateway which will reduce the amount of traffic, but we recommend that you limit queries and use filters to ensure that only relevant data is transferred.
Power BI helps users to aggregate, analyze, visualize and share data. It is a SaaS (Software as a Service) based platform and is also available for Desktop, mobile, and on-premise servers. Power BI supports connection with many data source connectors to load data into the Dashboard directly from the data source and visualize data stored in Databases or Data Warehouses. Users use the Power BI Chart, graphs, KPIs, reports to analyze the data and get interactive insights.
Power BI Desktop is a free application that can be downloaded and installed on your local computer. Power BI Desktop is a comprehensive data analysis and report creation tool for connecting to, transforming, visualising, and analysing your data. It includes the Query Editor, which allows you to connect to a variety of data sources and combine them (also known as modelling) into a data model. Then, based on that data model, you can design a report. Reports can be shared directly with others or by publishing to the Power BI service.
The Power BI Service is a Cloud-based or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering of Power BI. It allows teams and organisations to edit reports and collaborate on them. Connecting to data sources in the Power BI service is also possible, but modelling is limited. The Power BI service is used to create dashboards, create and share apps, analyse and explore data to uncover business insights, and much more.
