Hi i'm using office 365.  I'm stuck on lesson 3.05  in Power Pivot window where I am trying to connect an excel file using the "From other Sources" button.  I click on the button and nothing happens.  "From Database" and "From Data Service" work fine.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Hi Tony,

It looks like this is a recent bug, as evidenced in the Microsoft Tech Community here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Excel/Power-Pivot-in-Excel-2019-From-other-Sources-button-wont-work/td-p/327714

I am running version 1902 build 11328.20008 (Office Insider) and the button works for me, so hopefully you will get a fix in a future update, but for now the suggestion is to use Power Query to get the data, which is really the ideal route.
