Blank data showing when I add data from Excel

Hi there,

 

I have uploaded data from Excel to Power BI and for some reason there is blank data showing even though there's no blank data in the excel?

Hi @gbarr12345 

The fact that you don't see any blank cells in Excel doesn't necessarily mean they aren't there. Sometimes there are hidden blank cells, for example, due to a format applied to an empty cell. To deal with this, you can either filter out the blank cells in Power Query or try defining a dynamic table in Excel using CTRL+T and then import it into Power BI. To assist further, I need to see the file.
