Hi All,

My issue is that I get a error message "The file you have chosen is in use. Please close the file before you import".

I am in Diagram View, go to existing connections and double click the source file that is an xls, file saved on the share point. My goal is to import a new column I added. No one is in the file, it's only me. Could a duplicate file be opening in the background when I open the Slicer/PowerPivot?
