Ensure that the XML file is well-formed and adheres to a schema that Power BI can understand. While importing XML data into power bi, you should use the XML data source option.Make sure you select the correct xml file and set up the import option correctly. Also, you may need to configure that data import settings for your XML file. Ensure that the columns you want to import are selected. After importing data check in the power query editor, use the preview option to see a sample of the data that will be imported. This can help you verify that the data is being read correctly. Also, check the data privacy settings in power bi, sometimes overly strict privacy settings can prevent data from being imported.

Hi Pradeep, 

The system generates from the system and is placed in a  folder.

Power BI needs to pick the file and process it, But when I try to pick the XML file am get the error.

Could you please help,
