Good morning, I am having the same problem but when connecting to some DBF tables from different databases concatenated by a GetData, I understand that I would have to encode the DataSource in some way so that the power bi service recognizes it, but I do not understand how do it, any kind of help would be appreciated, I share the code of GetData and the one of the resulting table, thank you very much

 

(Nlocal)=>
let
    Origen = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\administrador.ESTANCIAS\Documents\Power BI Desktop\Sucursales.xlsx"), null, true),
    Sheet1_Sheet = Origen{[Item="Sheet1",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    LOCAL = Sheet1_Sheet{Nlocal}[Column9],
    

    Source = OleDb.DataSource("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=Z:\LINCEV3\"&LOCAL&"\DBF\;extended properties=dBASE IV",
    [Query="select CLCOD, CLTPO, CLNOM, CLDIR, CLLOC, CLCP, CLCUIT, CLVCODPAG, CLFECHA, CLFING, CLEMAIL from [cli.dbf]"])

    Source

    Source = Excel.Workbook (File.Contents ("C: \ Users \ administrator.STANCES \ Documents \ Power BI Desktop \ Branches.xlsx"), null, true),

    # "Promoted Headers1" = Table.PromoteHeaders (Sheet1_Sheet, [PromoteAllScalars = true]),
