    If you choose to use OneDrive, you can only choose from the Documents "library". Let me choose from files that are shared with me.

    Great suggestion Taylor. Who else thinks this would be useful? Please add your votes!

    I join the crowd... This feature is a must!
    It would be nice if Microsoft could give us an ETA.

    Please, this would be exceptionally useful as an admin of PowerBI dashboards for my team!

    This is kind of fundamental, data comes from a number of sources and rarely is the report/dashboard author the data owner. We should not have to fundamentally change the way we work as an organisation in order to harness the data that has already been shared with us.

    I workaround this by first reading the data from the shared XLSX in one drive to my local XLSX. However to refresh the data I have to first open the local copy in Excel and refresh it.
