Importing an Excel document that is password protected

Good day,

I want to import an Excel document into Power BI. The document is password protected and Power BI does not allow me to import it. Is there a way to pull in the document even though it is password protected? 

 

It was recommended that I create another document that isn't password protected or that I remove the password. Both of these will not work as I constantly update the document and want to avoid doing more work. 

 

Thank you.

Power BI does not natively support importing password protected excel files.
