hi I am trying to link files which are in my hard drive through power view in excel.
is anybody can help what steps to follow to link local files from power view.

You can't hyperlink to files or shares in Power View, only sites and email addresses. See here. Those hyperlinks can be in your data or can be added to text boxes.

I am trying to create a file path link in either a table or a tooltip on a map in Powerbi. After doing some research "File" is an acceptable input for the "Web URL" data category. But for some reason when I try to use it as a hyperlink in the browser, it will not work. Below are some pictures of the problem.
What is the best way to fix this issue? Do I need to change how I string in the file path?
I found definitive answer - it doesn't work as one would expect. It appears it only used to work on Edge, however Edge has switched to Chromium underneath and this capability has not been carried over since it is a potential security risk.
If I navigate from Power BI Service and try and right click to open the link, I get. about:blank#blocked
Here is the post I found
And here is the idea you need to vote for: - Extract below.
Currently open a local file from Desktop is not possible and from browser is very tedious as explained on May 2017 update:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-feature-summary/#urlTables
"If you want to use file URLs, there are some limitations. They will not open in the Power BI Desktop, only in web browsers. For most browsers, you will need to right click on the link, copy the link address, and paste the URL in a new tab"
It will be great if can be improved the way to open the files in same way as with web images or files (http://).
as Microsoft Power BI only allows to add hyperlinks of the following types
mailto
News
Telnet
FTP
File
I was thinking, if it could be possible to write a small webservice (ideally under IIS), which redirects an URL to let open a different hyperlink type.
The thing is, that I made a Power BI report, which reads from a Microsoft SQL server instance, which is running behind a propriertary Windows native CRM software.
What I want to achieve is to get back to the software, as soon as e.g. a customer number in the Power BI dashboard is clicked (made clickable using the conditional formatting).
It is already possible to open the dataset using an URL by entering something like:
<applicationname>:OpenAddress?Number=12345 in my Webbrowser.
So as Power BI does not let me add this syntax directly, I thought it could be possible to have a link like http://localhost:8080/OpenAddress?Number=12345 which redirects to the above individual hyperlink type.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

After a while of thinking I solved this issue using some simple lines of Javascript:
let params = new URLSearchParams(location.search);
parameter = params.get('number');
finalurl = "<applicationname>:OpenAddress?number=" + parameter;
window.location.replace(finalurl);
I made a table on a SharePoint page using a webpart/snippet and some coding. My goal is to add code to pull a value for a couple of the cells in the table from another SharePoint page using a QueryString. My issue, I'm newer to SharePoint, and not sure how to set up the page that I'm pulling the information from. Ultimately, the page with the table will only be editable by a few owners. The page with the info to populate the cells will have multiple people that have the permission to edit the page to update their information daily. Now, here is where I'm not sure how to proceed. I don't want the users, most of which have no coding experience, to have to deal with entering their daily values into a coded snippet. But I'm not sure how to call the value from randomly entered data on a SharePoint page line. I believe it is SharePoint 2013. I can insert a table using the SharePoint feature rather than a snippet code, and that would be easily editable for the users. But Then I'm right back with not being sure how to call the information. I believe I can come up with the code once I figure out how I need to set up page with the information, but can edit the question as deemed necessary.
Follow the below thread
There are many way to send data from one page to another page
Query string is better if you are using table, redirect the link using custom code else follow the below link it might be help you to clarify or achieve something

I created some very nifty Power View reports in excel, however I would like to view the reports from sharepoint without opening excel first (as if the power view was created entirely from sharepoint without Excel).
The most valable solution I could think of was to start over with new reports in Sharepoint and recreate the whole thing in browser. I do hope there is a better way to achieve this.
Is there a solution to extract the power view reports and publish them to Sharepoint? Any help is appreciated!
If it matters, I am site administrator for the sharepoint environment.
This is the result I would like to have:
This is from the bi demo script at https://www.microsoftofficedemos.com/
To publish the Power View Report to SharePoint.
In Excel, on the File tab, click Save As.
In the Save As window, under Places, click SharePoint, and then click Browse.
In the Save As dialog, click Browser View Options.
In Browser View Options, click Sheets in drop down.
In list of sheets, click the sheet that contains your Power View report, and then click OK.
In Save As dialog, navigate to the Reports Gallery, if not selected by default.
Click Save to upload the workbook from Excel to SharePoint report gallery.
EDIT: Unfortunately you can't extract the power view per this info, office.microsoft.com/en-in/excel-help/…. There's a suggestion on Connect that you can vote on to add this feature in future versions
I have found some Google public data of interest to me.

I would like to download it so that I can create my own visualizations from it. Is this possible? I cannot merely embed the graph because I don't want the links to Google on my site.
Thank you.
The data cannot be downloaded from Google Public Data, though it can be downloaded from the original site. Source: http://support.google.com/publicdata/answer/1101239?hl=en
Click the "Data from World Bank, World Development Indicators" link at the bottom. You should see a link to download the data on that page.
There is a small box that contains a question mark on the axis labels. Click the box and click "More info". It would direct you to the raw data in table form.
