To import the zip file you need to add the query parameter "v3=false" to the end of the URL when you import the file.

thanks for the question. This is a video which shows how to automate the Power BI refresh from an Excel file stored in Teams/SharePoint. If you want to automatically refresh the Excel file, then this assumes it is populated from another (3rd party) source. I've used Power Automate to do this in the past, an example is here where I automate the refresh of Excel with Microsoft Planner data using Power Automate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4aUf6GgbpqJg9E
