file contains corrupted data...possible options

Hi All,

Thanks for your time, I have this scenario ...so far nothing is working

1).Was reading the data from an excel file and the excel file .xlsx is in share point..using the get date > web option

2).There was only 1 sheet in it

3).recently someone added another sheet but we dont use that sheet so i have never updated the power bi as i dont use that sheet

   this sheet is being used by someone for other reasons

4).when i try get data > web ...put the direct url to the file in share point i get this error ..file contains corrupted data

 

for testing purpose i tried loading the data as get data > excel file > i navigated to the same share point locationt that i mapped as network drive... this time i dont get the error

when i go the edit queries > source i see 3 tables - i have one with the

name _xlnm._Fitlerdatabase

Data as table

item as DataFile!_xlnm.Filterdatabase

Kind as DefinedName

Hidden as True

 

so there is a 3rd sheet which is hidden - looks like this also has the name as my original sheet that i use to load
