Hi,
I'm trying to import a file into my PBIX using the New Source | Web option. I have copied the path from the Info on the Excel spreadsheet. I tried importing this file previously but it has errors so had to re-create it and try again. Now I am getting this:
I don't know what the Sheet1$FilterDatabase is or what it means. Normally I just see the Sheet1 checkbox. Is that the one I should use?
Thanks,
Rena
Solved! Go to Solution.
That is a hidden sheet in Excel that keeps track of your interactions with the actual sheet. You should ignore it and always only use the original sheet as a source.
