Not Importing data from Excel Spreadsheet
I seem to have an issue importing data from Excel Spreadsheets, if I use the Connect option the data is available in the Report section but each time I use the Import option I get the 'Processing the file' dialogue for a few seconds and then nothing, the dataset doesn't appear. If I change the file type to .csv then the file imports fine. Am I missing something really obvious here?

Your Excel file is up on OneDrive, correct?
I've tried both OneDrive and also local hard drive, same outcome for both.
Is your excel file .xls (97-2003) or .xlsx (2007 - 2016)? Sometimes it works only with .xlsx
What is your query "Load to" settings ? Excel Spreadsheet, conection only, data model ?
Default settings are available into Power Query ribbon -> Options -> Global -> Data Load
