Currently, the tool "Save As..." opens the dialog box with the last saved folder.
e.g.: If you opened the file A and saved in a directory X, when you open the file B (saved on directory Y) and click on "Save As", the dialog box will open the directory X instead of Y.

Same goes for "Select Data Sources". If you choose a new directory, when you choose to "Save As" your file, it will direct you to the last Data Sources' directory.

RE: Save As in Right Folder

With the more work we migrate to Power BI this is actually becoming quite a big problem rather than just hassle

This must be a duplicate request... I know I voted for this long long ago... please consolidate and fix. I fall victim to this quirk quite a bit.

How can this only have 50 votes? We're loosing so much time on this: Either navigating to the correct folder or even worse: Searching for files who have mistakenly been stored in the wrong folder.
Please fix asap!!

Totally agree. Why can’t PBI just work like every other Office application.
