PowerBI on a password protected Excel xslx file

[jmdh]

I seem  ti be unable  to access a password protected excel file with PowerBI

Iget an error message which indicates a  wrong  oledb access provider, but this does not help.

Is  powerBI capable of connecting to a password protected Excel file?
