Hi @helpme,

in the Advanced Settings tab of the node you find the option “Limit data rows scanned”. If you disable this or increase the number of rows, the error should be gone. The number of rows that is specified is used to scan the file and determine the data types of the column. If there are incompatible cells in a row afterwards, this error occurs. When you have a large file where scanning takes much time, limiting the rows makes sense. For small files, you can remove the limit.

Best,
Simon
