Named ranges in Excel are not recognised by PowerBI

Am I doing something wrong?

I've just had something similar and I wasn't using dynamic named ranges.

The issue I had was that the worksheet was called "IS&KPI'20" - once I replaced the apostrophe with an underscore my problem was sorted. I'd imagine this kind of issue will happen with other restricted characters too.

Probably.

At least you forget to specify your issue.

So just a wild guess: are you trying to import a dynamic range?

Sorry. Yes range with offsets

Dynamic ranges can only be used with Power Query in the current workbook, not when importing data from an external workbook.
