Hi SacSam

Please show some details:

what you do when connect to excel files?

assume you did

Get data-> excel->

or 

Get data->web->

If your excel files are stores on the One Drive For Bussiness, please read the link how to connect it with Power BI Desktop

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-use-onedrive-business-links

If not, please let me know.

 

Best regards

Maggie
