Hi Anonymous 

Do you connect excel file with Power BI Desktop ?

Or with Power BI Service to import or connect to an Excel workbook from Power BI ?

Or  Publish to Power BI from Excel 2016 ?

 

Please note that: 

From this article, we can know Power BI supports importing or connecting to workbooks created in Excel 2007 and later. Workbooks must be saved as .xlsx or .xlsm file type and be under 1 GB.

 

If these above don't slove your problem, please share the Excel file so that I can test to reproduce this issue on my side.

 

Best Regards

Maggie

    Hi Maggie,

     

    I am using PowerBI through the Web Browser (as there is no Desktop edition for MacOS). 

     

    The file is an .xlsx (Excel 2016), and is only 1.44MB. The file also has no macros, or VBA. It is located on my OneDrive which is attached to the same Office365 account that I use for PowerBI.

     

    Unfortunately I cannot share the file, as the information in it is confidential. I just tried importing again, and got the following error:

     

    Something went wrong
    Failed to configure selected file

      Hi Anonymous 

      As tested, it works on my side.

      Do you have a Power BI pro account?

      If this problem still occurs, you could create a support ticket (free for pro users)

      Best Regards
