Hi v-juanli-msft,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

Unfortunately, all excel files that I use are automatically encrypted by a security software (company policy), they are not password protected, so even if I move these files to a secure folder they will end up being encrypted anyway...

 

What is curious is that in the previous version of PBI I didn't have this issue...this started after Oct update...and I don't have/find the install kit for September version to see if installing that version will solve the issue...

 

Thank you for your help!

Hi RazvanSer

Did you remember how you get data from these files with previous version?

Do you need to enter some credential for the data source?

 

Or does the security software give permission for your power bi account?

How about sign in with your power bi account and get data later?

 

Best Regards

Maggie

    Hi v-juanli-msft,

     

    I just loaded the data from excel without any credentials. I didn't even had to sign in to load data...it just worked as it was.

    To be honest, I don't have a power BI account.

     

    Thank you for your help,
