Can't connect to local CSV file.

Oh, here's a new one: I can't connect to a local CSV file.

From this particular PBIX, it just spins (terminated after 30 minutes).

It's not due to file size and, I can connect to the CSV form a new PBIX.

 

I don't even know where to start looking. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks, as always, in advance.

Hi @pawlowski6132 ,

 

Does the access work with the Power Query Editor?

Thanx for reply Rena but, as I mentioned it's not a large file. Only 8 kb.
