Hi Smita BM,

We're glad you reached out to us through the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Where am I seeing this?

Module: Get data in Power BI

Unit 11: Exercise - Prepare data in Power BI Desktop

It seems that the CSV file is being downloaded to your local machine instead of the lab environment. We tested it on our end, and it worked as expected. Please ensure you're following the lab instructions provided on the right side when you launch the Lab.

Please launch the lab as shown in the screenshot below. Kindly refer to the screenshots provided.

If the issue still persists, please do let us know.

I continue to have this same issue. Followed the instructions as written in the module and as explained here. The files are still not available in the lab but only on my local computer.

Hi Naomi Hoyt

To continue with the exercise, please open Microsoft Edge on the lab virtual machine (VM) and download the 02-load-data.zip file from the provided GitHub link. Save the file to the Downloads folder.

Next, open File Explorer, go to the Downloads folder, right-click on the .zip file, and choose "Extract All" to unpack the contents.

After completing these steps, follow the remaining instructions in the exercise panel on the right.

If you encounter any issues, feel free to leave a comment below with details, errors, or a screenshot of the problem.
