    Sorry for that it seems that Power BI desktop doesn't support to fetch data from password protected Excel file.
    Here is an idea you could click to vote it up.

    Best regards,

amitchandakThanks for your reply! The password is no problem for now,  I can see all the other sheets. Only the Excel structure is protected with a password, the data isn't. It is just that the sheet I need is not visable in all the workbooks.
