Excel Load

I can select an Excel  Workbook. I can select a worksheet and I see the table in the pane. However, the load button remains gray. This started happing today.

 

Been using the Power BI for weeks and everything was working.

 

Even the tables that did work do not work now.

 

I even went as for to uninstall Power BI and reinstall.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

I did not see the checkbox to the left of the spreadsheet file. I clicked the checkbox, and everything is working.

 

Thanks so much I was losing my mind.
