    Hello dmarques 

    Thank you for the update. Glad to hear that you’ve found a solution that works in most scenarios.

    Regarding the issue with Power Query reading encrypted Excel files, I had previously shared a reference link in my earlier response that provides relevant information on this limitation. You may not have had a chance to review it yet, so here it is again for your reference:

    Enable sensitivity labels in Fabric and Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    As the issue has been resolved, kindly consider marking this as the Accepted solution to help others find it easily.

    Thank You.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and clarifications. Do you have any official Microsoft link with that information?

I really think it's kind of strange that Microsoft has one product to encrypt data and another product, within the same ecosystem which can't decrypt that data. It doesn't make much sense.

Thanks
