To import data from OneDrive

5. If it is an HTML, XLS, or XLSX file, you can click the Preview option to view a sample of the data.

6. If the file is password protected, enter the password, and click the right arrow.

7. Click Import button.

9. Once you have completed importing data, your dataset will open and you can start preparing your data right away.
