Hi, guys

 

I'm facing the same problem.

 

I'm using windows 11 and Power BI Desktop versio 2.137.1102.0.

 

I've try impor an excel file but the options to load or transform the data are disabled.

 

I opened the file in excel and is working without errors, so the problem is in the Power BI I think.

you need to select a sheet or table. the checkbox must be checked.

Hi @swilliam ,
Based on your description, we can't tell if Transform data is not working on power bi or excel. Can you provide the platform and version number you are using so that we can help you faster.
