Recently , i ran into several issues related to the access to an Excel workbook (stored on SharePoint) and to the "Binary" side of things.
Today, when trying to Refresh a POwerBI desktop which has run perfectly well until now, i have this new message:
DataFormat.Error: The specified package is invalid. The main part is missing.
Details:
Binary
I can open the file OK in Excel, i have saved it again, same issue.
Hi @jmdh,
Based on my test, it could work on my side, could you have tried with other Excel files and could you please share the file to have a test if possible?
Regards,
Daniel He
