title: Power BI unable to read excel worksheet with multiple tabs
body: <p>I have an excel worksheet with 10 tabs.  </p>
  
  <p>For each tab, the data is structured as follows:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/oK6iQ.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/oK6iQ.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>All tabs follow this same basic structure. </p>
  
  <p>In Power BI, when I go to "Get Data", and then choose the .xlsx file, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Unable to connect
  
  
  We encountered an error while trying to connect.
  
  Details: "The input couldn't be recognized as a valid Excel document."
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is very frustrating and I don't know how such a simple task cannot be accomplished in Power BI.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
