Corrupt data (web only)

The data is in Sharepoint (.xlsx files in a folder), I can update normally through power bi desktop, no error is displayed, but when trying to do this in app.powerbi.com (powerbi web) it gives the following error:

File contains corrupted data.. The exception was raised by the IDataReader interface. Please review the error message and provider documentation for further information and corrective action.

I've tested file by file and it points out that all are corrupted!
