    Hello stenford23 

     

    I can tell you that power query is only reading the data it needs. So in your case it's reading only this single sheet. What it could cause this is the used range in Excel. So maybe you filled only little data, but the used range is really big. So go to this sheet and press CTRL + end. Probably you will see that the used range is way bigger than your really data. Delete al not needed cells and make a save as. Retry to load the data to power query
