    I installed the newest version of the Power BI Desktop yesterday. I am developing a number of visuals and hence still testing and swapping data source, mainly Excel data.

    I just noticed with the latest update that the "Browse" button when changing the data source has been taken out/accidentally left out? I'm guessing the latter since its instructing you to browse.

    Please also fix this in Excel 2013 - this is a big issue for our organization. Thank you!

    Also noticed this problem. A workaround for this is to find the excel source and copy/paste into the field

    File Properties > Security tab > Object Name:

    Having the browse re-instated would obviously be much more helpful though!
