    Solved the issue.   

     

    The Scenario

     

    Have a Excel file saved to a sharepoint.  This is where Power BI is pulling the auto updates from.  When accessing the file it opens in Excel online.  If you make any updates on here it was changing the version of the Excel file causing the error.  

     

    Fix.

    Copy and paste the data to a blank Excel file to make sure its the proper version.  You can save it over the original or in a new location.  If in new location you have to change the path in the query editor.  

     

    Make sure not to work in Excel online always open in Excel for this issue.
