NASCA Encryption and Power BI

Question

I have NASCA&nbsp; + SD Digital Rights Management software loaded on my pc. Before this software was loaded,&nbsp;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.&nbsp;Any way around this error. I tried downloading various 32/64Bit versions and even tried Access as this is not encrypted and no go!&nbsp;Error is as follows:&nbsp;

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.
