Excel import creating phantom rows

[SQLKing]

I'm completely new to Power BI and really trying to find a comprehensive source for learning how Power BI works right now.  My first assignment is to load data from Excel into Power BI to simply display the data.  When I attempted to load a worksheet with 130 rows of data I got 545 rows of garbage in the Power BI desktop.  All columns are defined as text and there are commas within some of it so I hope that is not the case.  Specifically I'm seeing a lot of text that I'm not sure where it is coming from.  There are things like "Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Version 9.4(2)" duplicated on about 150 rows but this text is nowhere in my original data.  Any ideas what is going on and any suggestions for good learning tools would be appreciated.

HI @SQLKing,

I test on my side and can't reproduce this issue, can you please provide sample file to test?

Which methods you used to get data?(Get data or import)
Does this file contains reformat or export from other applications? (format convert)

Grouped Cells (or hidden cells) may be a cause, but there any several other possibilites.  You may be able to Replace Values or Fill your data in Query Editor to compensate for what imported.  But you'll have to see what's 'missing' in the extra imported columns.  If you can share the Excel, or PBIX, or good screen shots we might be able to help further.
