NASCA Encryption and Power BI

‎04-13-2017 08:18 AM

I have NASCA  + SD Digital Rights Management software loaded on my pc. Before this software was loaded, I could read any excel file into Power BI. However after the NASCA Load, and after the excel file was opened, saved and encrypted using NASCA, I lost the ability to read or get data into Power BI.

 

Any way around this error. I tried downloading various 32/64Bit versions and even tried Access as this is not encrypted and no go!

 

Error is as follows:

Hi @Rsedg42，

Currently, it is not supported to connect to encrypted Excel file from Power BI Desktop. There is an idea stating this issue, please vote it up.
