XLS FILE - Error attempted to read or write protected memory.

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I have a problem to import a xls file into Power BI. I've tried with the actual version but this error occured: "&nbsp;attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that memory is corrupt.". I've tried older versions and also 32 bits versions but the problem still occurs. I tried to save my file as a xlsm and it works but i don't want to convert all my files to xlsm.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you,&nbsp;M
