Hi Recoba88,

Do you connect to the Excel 2007 file from Power Query in Excel 2016? If so, which format do you save the Excel file as, .xlsx or .xlsb?

Besides, please directly open the file and check if you get restricted Access message. Based on my research, the error could occur due to access restrictions.


Thanks,
Lydia Zhang
