Hi. I am new to BI, although I've already used Power Query. I now try to import a sheet from an Excel file. The file size is 42 MB (I have the free version but that allows you up to 1GB, so this should not be a problem?) and the data in the sheet covers 52 columns and 55871 rows. When I import it, it gives me an error message to say the data was cut because of the size. The upload and modify are blanked out, so I can only choose cancel - and therefore not importing my data into Power BI. Why is this a problem? (the problem, choice options are free translations, my computer is in French)
Also, I could not connect as it does not want to accept my gmail address (and neither my yahoo.fr). I've then used another address that I have that ends .com, even though I don't really want to use this as an option as it is an address I have with a company I do work for from time to time, but MS also does not want to accept this. How on earth am I suppose to connect if they don't accept these addresses? I'm not going to pay for a domain or email address and then afterwards find out they don't even want to accept that! I'm also not sure why I should connect since the screen and functionality of Power BI comes up on my computer, which is why I started to import the data (but perhaps this is the reason for the problem?).
I would very much appreciate assistance!

Thank you - I have managed to solve the problem by myself :). It was a very stupid error, but if you don't know it, you can be stuck like I was. In fact, I have used click & double click on the table to import, but this kept the load & edit blanked out. There is actually a little square in front of the table name (i haven't even noticed before...) - you need to click that tick box in order to enable the options to load/edit.
