Excel .xlsb and .xlsx
I noticed that the .xlsb dont apply as a source in PBI, my question is, do you have any tip to change the extension to .xlsx
Because I've read about put a macro on it, but I dont want to open the file because is to large and my pc takes a lot of time, I am not sure if there are any way to do it without open it.
Regards

I don't think there's a great workaround at the moment.

Hi Anonymous ,
According to your requirements, I search an online app can convert XLSB to XLSX, it works fine by my test, but I'm not sure if it will take a long time if your files are too large.

Thank you, maybe it works for smaller files, but not for the ones I need
