Sharepoint excel data only showing column headers and not data

Hi, I've been trying to work on this for the past 2 dasy and still can't figure out how to fix it. Data source is an excel file in sharepoint that is regularly being updated. No problem in connecting and accessing the file but when i view it in PBI desktop i can only see the 1st three rows. The 1st 2 rows are just merged rows for the file title and the actual data column headers are on the 3rd row. In PBI, no data from row 4 down is displayed. Can anyone help me with this or maybe provide some ideas on what I can do to check?

 

Thank you very much!

  • This has been resolved - excel version is old (xls). updating the file to the latest version of excel solved the problem. Thank you for all the help

    Are you importing a csv file or an xlsx file
    What is the output of the file in PQ?

        You can check the Manage Access in sharepoint.

        You can also check if the following setting caused your issue:
