    It would be great if we can connect or open the password protected excel workbook inside Power BI Desktop. Of course we should know & provide the password first.

    This is a four year old idea that I support.

    Power Query / Power BI should ask / or give an option to open a password protected file , If the password is correct it should be able to open it and retrieve data from it . else it should not open it . It is a wonderful tool..
    this will be helpful in maintaining sanctity of the data and confidentiality of the File by the users.
