    Posting links etc on Excel forum,

    Hi,
    If I have a problem with a PBi file, which can't be uploaded, can I post a one drive link,
    Can't see anything in the rules but thought would check.

    Richard.

    We prefer direct uploads but you may post a OneDrive link (you have enough posts to allow hot links).

    Why can't your file be uploaded?

    If it exceeds size limits you can try zipping it and attaching the zip file, which can be up to 9.77MB.

    If the file type is not allowed, you can also use the zip solution.

    Jeff - .pbi files are not supported.

    Richard - you could change the file extension to .txt and mention in your post that it will need changing back to .pbi by anyone helping.

    Thanks, hadn't thought of that, it's not very bit but I've not been able to upload PBi files in the past.

    Re: Posting links etc on Excel forum,

    That's because they are not supported, as I said. That's why I suggested changing to an extension that is supported.

    I suggest you don't use .zip - many members (myself included) are wary of anything that might be zipped.

    Yes, I guessed that it wasn't, I've used the text option,
