Pivot Table

I'm trying to import an Excel Pivot Table into Power BI, but I keep getting an error message,
"The following Excel workbook doesn't contain any queries or a model to import."

The Excel is from Microsoft 365, and it's a simple Pivot Table. The Power BI I'm using is Desktop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Aniya Zhang,

Thank you for looking into this! Unfortunately, the Excel connector did not detect the pivot table within the worksheet, which is odd.

Hi , @AZJohnPowerBI

Based on my test , i think you encounter this error code:

According to my understanding, this reason is because the corresponding query and model were not found in your Excel.

You can try using the Excel connector to connect your data:

For how to create quries and model , you can refer to or consult the Excel forum :
Create a Data Model in Excel - Microsoft Support

 

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI! 

 

Best Regards,

Aniya Zhang
