    If I load an Excel file using the Power BI Service then OneDrive Refresh is enabled, however, if I use the Desktop version to load the Excel file (via URL), then the service does not recognize this as OneDrive to enable OneDrive Refresh. Obviously, the desktop version is preferable for building reports and the service is preferable for OneDrive Refresh availability.
    Can you please provide a way to have the best of both worlds together?
