Sharepoint does not know how to handle .pbix files. Should be able to check out / open.

RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix

We are going to do Versioning of PBIX-files in Teams, under files. We need this.

RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix

This is something we'd love to have. Currently we have no central method in SharePoint Online for storing and sharing our PBIX files. Instead we have either keep them on our desktop, risky, or OneDrive, which we don't like. I'm sure there are other methods but we are pushing our users to SPO for collaboration, as much as possible and we have a large PowerBI user base.

RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix

In what version of SharePoint is this webpart available?

RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix

Apparently Power BI is NOT an Office 365 application, or it would automatically be supported in SharePoint... this is about as basic as you can get.

RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix

They now support a webpart ... but this is no substitute for the real need... native support of pbix files... like Visio or any other office doc.

RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix

I don't understand why this isn't supported - we are trying to push all our users to SharePoint but oversights like this make it impossible

RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix

This would be awesome. I'd love to see multi-user editing and clicking save syncing to SharePoint.

RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix

It's a native O365 application, i'm surprise we have to spent votes on this. We want to be able to open it directly from the library and check it in / out directly from the application as it's used by powerusers for central reporting with a form of version control

RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix

This would really help handling enterprise files that are managed in a SharePoint Document Management System.
