Hi Anonymous,

 

As Stachu said, you can enter the data directly to work on it. Also I suggest your to upload the file to sharepoint or one drive, then you can get the excel file from sharepoint or one drive in Power BI desktop to work around.

      Hi

       

      thanks for your answers. I don't believe that these are solutions as they're workaround. I can't load it on sharepoint as it's a file used often in the organization on a shared google drive folder and enter data is not the best solution as it's big amount of data. It's a pretty weird behaviour to be honest.
