Getting data from Exchange Mailbox

Hi,

I am extracting data from csv attachments sent to a folder of my outlook mailbox. Everything goes fine up to the point where I view the contents of the csv file and click ok, then Pbi tries to process and ends up with the error "The active item should be a query". If I Close and Apply, the load works but I'd like to continue transforming the data rather than wait for it to load
