hi @Wis 

 

Based on the screenshot, you are only accessing the file as binary but you did not specify what file type you are accessing. For Excel files from a local drive, the formula to access it would be: Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(path))
For Excel files from the web Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents(path))
