    Hi prathijp ,
    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

    In Power Query, use the Excel.Workbook([Content]) function. After connecting through the SharePoint Folder, locate the file’s binary content and apply this function to correctly decode the workbook structure. This ensures the Excel file is interpreted and loaded properly.

    Thank you
