Hi, I have a macro-enabled excel file (.xlsm) which is saved on our network (WorkDocs). Using this excel file as the data source I have created a Power BI dashboard only to find that the organisation has moved away from Power BI and so I am unable to publish it. I would like to try to re-create the dashboard in Quick Sight however I am unable to upload a macro-enabled excel file (.xlsm) as the only supported file format is (.xlsx) which is very strange. Has anyone come across this problem? ![Quick Sight Data sources](https://d1wl4jav5dp96l.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/6/a6ff6f27c3890fb701c00a00083de29c6b7c3a89.png) ---

Hi Mazen, Quicksight doesn’t support .xlsm file type. I tried using my account that the .xlsm file never shown up in the list when I add new dataset. But when I rename the file to .xlsx, it can upload correctly (although the Macro is still active). So you can try to change the file extension and try, if you don’t mind.
