Hello,
When I convert an xlsx file to XML, I cannot find the worksheet when I upload it to Power Bi.
I usually get this in the navigation pane:
Is there anything that I need to check in the XML code?
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
It seems that you trying to import it as an excel file and not as xml.

Hi Miss @Ritaf1983 , my apologies for my late reply as I was on Sick Leave. I found out that my client was saving an ordinary xlsx to a XML. the table was not defined in the file and I had to map to fields using an XML Map. Once correctly mapped, the tab/sheet that the table is located is now being picked up by power bi XML connector. Thank you for all your help Ma'am!
