Getting `RequestedFileIsEncryptedOrCorrupted` for xlsx file import using rest api

HI Team,

 

I am getting below screanshot error while import excel sheet using `import in group` rest api.

 

Same API works fine with .pbix file but failing for .xlsx nothing modified between these files. Need your help to resolve this issue.

 

Thanks.
