DataFormat.Error: 'Text' is an invalid XmlNodeType

I'm querying from a folder and the reports in the folder are formatted the same with the .xlsx extension. However, I'm getting this error message. Any assistance with this would be appreciated

 

 

An error occurred in the ‘Transform File (2)’ query. DataFormat.Error: 'Text' is an invalid XmlNodeType. Line 1, position 468.
