    I see, that is strange

     

    Looking at the bottom of your Power Query window, it does look like you have some blank rows. I don't see why this would be causing the issue you describe but it's worth sorting anyway. If possible, amend your Excel source to set the range of values as a Table (highlight the range that contains data then Insert > Table). Give the table a name to make it easier to spot in Power BI

     

    When you import the data into Power BI, you will be able to select the Table definde above rather than importing the whole sheet. Hopefully this will be a bit cleaner and resolve your issue.

     

    Another thing to double check if you haven't done already is that the data is genuinely missing - when you are in Power BI, sometimes the sort order will change so something that was at the bottom of Power Query isn't at the bottom when it's imported.

    Do you have a screenshot to show a bit more clearly what you mean?

     

    One thing to bear in mind is that in the Power Query editor, you will only get a preview of 1000 rows, but when you Close and Apply to load the data into your model, that will bring everything . . . so if you anticipate that you have data issues beyond 1000 rows, this could explain some inconsistency
