Import Excel Workbook - Error
Hi Sairam_11 ,
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.
As a workaround, you could remove passsword and instead, move the files to a secure folder that limited people have access to.
