Power BI needs much better integration with OneDrive (and Sharepoint). For example, as far as I can tell, if I want to connect to an Excel workbook in Power BI then I still have to go wrangle the web link to the file and import it as a web data source. That's insane. Even worse, it's easier to do this in Power BI desktop than it is to try and point to the file in a dataflow (because the data refreshes get all screwed up). All of the Power BI data connections (Desktop, dataflow, datamart) should be able to provide a much better user experience than what we have now. It's all within the Microsoft 365 platform right?
