Problem importing a folder to Power BI

Hi, I have a very strange issue:

today I wanted to import for Excel files (complete folder, no other files, etc). I kept getting the error message

What is so strange about it is that I had that issue 2 weeks ago already. When I tried to import the very same folder the next day it worked without any problems. Can anyone tell me the reason for it? I am sure, tomorrow it will work fine again.

 

Best regards,

Susanne

Hi @SIH007 ,

 

Over the past few days, Power BI has experienced a temporary service outage that may have led to this issue.

I can't accurately identify the error message in the sample picture above.

Since it's an English surpport fourm,if you can show the picture in English.We may provide better help.

 

Best regards.

I found the source of the problem: The files in the folder had different tab-names. If you can't guarantee that all files have the same tab names you have to modify the M-textM-code.jpg
