although there are rows after 255.  If i convert the file to .csv, it imports all the rows, but this isnt ideal.  Any ideas why?

 

Thanks,

@StuartSmith interesting seems like that empty line is causing an issue which shouldn't be. Can you remove that empty line and test it again, just to see if that works.

Figured it out, the excel file had a table range spanning all the columns, but only the first 255 rows.  Removed table range and now all rows imported.  The only issue now is that Power Bi is unable to remove the table range during the "Transform" steps, so will have to remove manually everytime from within the Excel file.
