I can't select the downloaded files in PowerBi (lab version) (transform and load data)

Question

I extracted the powerbi training files to a folder on my C drive. However, in Powerbi (Lab version) I can't navigate (it seems) to this location. Alternatively, when I double click on the file, to start up in Powerbi, I can't link them up with the Powerbi (lab version). How do I make the files I downloaded work for Powerbi Lab version?

This question is related to the following Learning Module

Answer 1

Hi,

To complete the exercise, please open Edge inside of the lab VM and download the 02-load-data.zip file to the Downloads folder using the github url. Next browse to the Downloads folder using file explorer, right-click on the .zip file, choose Extract all, etc.

Once you have completed the above you can continue with the steps described in the exercise instructions on the right side of the lab.

If you are unable to complete the above please add a comment below with details/error/screenshot.
