It would be great if we can connect or open the password protected excel workbook inside Power BI Desktop. Of course we should know & provide the password first.

Much needed¡

[fbcideas_migusr]

Just coming up to a problem where I'd need to be able to use this functionality, that it's been here for over four years without even a comment doesn't fill me with confidence it'll be completed any time soon, if ever

[bart_overdevest]

please add this functionality

[7977804120l]

this is a basic functionality which should have got addressed by now.

[guernsey_david]

Looking for this functionality and found only people asking for it. Microsft please add this.

[vahid_tabatabai]

It is really required!

[thughes3]

Needed this for over 3 years. Using VBA script requires to much to get it going and additional server, this option would make it very easy to do more things.

Need it the Most for some Very Confidential Data.
