Problem Note 68535: An XLSX file that is created by using PROC EXPORT does not open in Microsoft Power BI
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use the EXPORT procedure to create an XLSX file that contains several sheets, you are unable to open the file in Microsoft Power BI. An error message similar to the following then appears:
We encountered an error while trying to connect.
Details: "The document cannot be opened because there is an invalid part with an unexpected content type. [Part Uri=/xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml], [Content Type=application/xml], [Expected Content Type=application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.worksheet+xml]."
The file can be opened in Microsoft Excel without any problems. A workaround is to open and save the file in Microsoft Excel first and then open the file in Microsoft Power BI afterward.
