Hi @Thomas897,

It is possible to load the duplicate rows, I create the following sample test, it upload correctly.

Please check if there is a Power Query like: #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Changed Type", {"Date"})

Please revoke the step and check if it works fine.

Can you show your results with screenshots? And possibly elaborate a little more?

I have found why, because I have some duplicates on my excell but I want to keep them.

How may I do this ?

I'm honestly not sure what you are trying to accomplish. Can you elaborate?

I have different bills of the same amount and the same day and I think power BI does not count them because it thinks they are duplicates. Is that possible ?
