Excel File (OneDrive) can't be uploaded
I am very new to BI, but I have uploaded a few files from Excel. But when trying to upload 2 in particular, I get an error messge that seems to indicate I am trying to upload an Access file rather than an Excel one? Can anyone see the problem?
Thanks. I figured it out. The Excel file had been created using an application that used an old version of Excel. I "converted" the file to a newer version and had no trouble uploading it.

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
