Excel Reader Node File Name Length Error

Hello.
I am trying to read an xlsx file using the Excel Reader node from the file system, but I am getting the following error:

Can’t I import a file whose name is less than three characters?
There is no problem when loading xlsx files locally or in other formats (csv, parquet).

If anyone has seen the same error, please help.
Thanks.

Hi @mychoi,

ooof, thanks for reporting this! I opened an internal ticket (AP-23573) to get it fixed quickly.

As a workaround, you could try to use the Transfer Files node to download the Excel files you want to process to a local folder, read from that, and delete that folder afterwards. The error does indeed only occur when reading from remote locations, such as a Hub space, not from the Local workspace or Local File System.

Best,
Manuel
