The input couldn't be recognized as a valid Excel document

Okay I know someone already posted but here's my scenario:
    I can open(Get Data) the Excel File in a new instance of PowerBI...

    BUT
    If I open(Get Data) the file in the instance where it was
    already the source it's giving that error.

    Update: I tried opening random excel file... and it's giving me the same Error

     

    I would believe there is something wrong with my PBIX file, but why? --- That's what I'm curious about.

     

    I think I can just go ahead and use an older version of my PBIX file.

    Hi ovetteabejuela,

    Do you get the above error when you open Excel file in all existing PBIX files?

    I am not able to reproduce your issue in the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.44.4675.521)? Could you please share me the Excel file and a PBIX file so that I can test?


    Thanks,
