DataFormat.Error: File contains corrupted data.

Hi - I have imported an excel file into Power BI using Sharepoint and I am getting this error. I cannot edit the excel file as it has a lot of data and I am having issues with excel if I open the file. The file is not password protected.  Is there any way I can sort this error without editing the excel file. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello @J0676s ,

 

you need to spot the fields that are making the error and replace them. You could acheive that in Power Query, check the replace option.

Thank you for your response. 

I am not able to access the dataset because of the error so cannot replace or transform the data in anyway
