How to achieve easy file update on Powerbi repository
Hi, I am new to powebi and I am trying to understand if powerbi could be the answer to a challenge that I have. I receive a monthly excel report file (always with the same format and schema) from a partner. I would like to have a dashboard that visualised the report content. I can achieve this when I link the one file with powerbi, however, I am not sure how to handle the monthly increments. Do I need to have some kind of master file that every month I manually update with the data from the new file that I receive, or is there a smart solution where I can just drop the file into a repository and Powerbi will automatically fetch all files in the repository? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks

Microsoft 365 Family Subscription
Hi, I have an issue with my Microsoft 365 family subscription. In the past, through my employer I got a family subscription via them. As I'm no longer are working for the company, the subscription is no longer valid. We purchased a family 365 subscription via my wife and she has invited me to join the family group to my yahoo account. However, I used this yahoo email address as a backup email to my previous employer. So when I click on the invitation link, Microsoft informs me that my account is already part of a family group. When I then log on and try to leave this family group, I get an error message that I cannot. My sons email is also part of this family group and I cannot remove his account from the group either. I'd like to keep my yahoo account and not logon via another email account to join our current family subscription. Any suggestions from anyone?

Lens makes file names with bad characters
"File cannot be compressed because it incudes characters that cannot be used in a compressed folder such as..." I've recommended colleagues use Lens to "scan" documents they need to send to me. I have a problem with one employee's files. In the example, it's the space between `913` and `AM`. 2-12-25, 913 AM Microsoft Lens.pdf
