Why are my Excel pivot tables converting to plain data when I post the .xlsx file on upwork??

Does anyone know why an Excel workbook with a pivot table using Power Query, would convert the pivot to plain data in the Excel Sheet? I have Office 365.

The projects of 99.9% of the clients I deal with on Upwork involve Excel files.

 

Over the past few years I have had only a client or two tell me the Excel files they got from me as attachments to Upwork messages have been corrupted in some way.

 

I've then sent and received Excel files from these clients using regular email. I also send duplicate messages to the client via Upwork's messaging system, so Upwork has a record of these communications.

So far I have only been using the messaging system. After trying several other solutions, I found that if I included the file in a zipped folder, it came out fine on the other end. Thanks for your feedback! --Christopher **Edited for community guidelines**
