    If I understand your situation, you have 2 similar csv files; one imports into Power BI but the second one doesn't load the data. My initial hunch is there might be corrupt data within the 2nd csv file. Does the 2nd file at least load the column headers? Do you get any error messages?

     

    As a test, you might try deleting all rows in that 2nd csv file, except leave one row of data. Then try importing the file. If that works/loads, then try loading more rows of data. If it doesn't work, then try re-creating that 2nd file, or make a copy of the 1st file and replace its data and then try to re-import.
