    Hi breakthrough379

     

    The Load button is disabled because no table or sheet has been properly selected in the Navigator window, even though the preview is visible.
    This behaviour usually occurs under in the Navigator, the table name must be selected using the checkbox on the left.
    Selecting only the preview on the right does not activate the Load button.
    Once the checkbox is marked, the Load button should become available.

    In the left pane you can see the Excel file (Sales orders sample data for power bi.xlsx) with the tables/sheets underneath it, but the checkbox next to the sheet/table is not checked. When no table is selected, Power BI disables the Load button and only leaves Cancel active.
