Hi @ammartino44,

 

Of course, you can. With Power BI Desktop, we can easily import Excel workbooks that contain Power Query queries, Power Pivot models and Power View worksheets into Power BI Desktop. For more information, please refer to this article: Import Excel workbooks into Power BI Desktop.
