error folder

Hi

I can resolve the source of error in my Query from folder

Normally my file are same type, but i missed something, and there is not much help with the error code:

 

 

An error occurred in the ‘Transform File’ query. DataFormat.Error: La table externe n'est pas dans le format attendu.
Details:
    FRLCAR79GS 11.xls

 

 

 

 

 

I try to debug in deleting operation one by one  in the sample file transnformation, but it is the same

I try to debug in deleting operation one by one  in the all files merge , but it is the same (that is the pbix that i publish in the case

When i copy past all the data in one file it works so i wonder how to debug and where is the problem

 

thanks for helping

5, 6, 7, 8,9,  11 and 12 are showing errors so there's some sort of corruption (probably in the metadata).

Sometimes this can be fixed by opening the files in Excel and saving them with a different name.
