Excel reader

Hi @Ashok121 , that’s certainly a lot of Excel files to be processing!

You could perform this by wrapping the Excel Reader with try-catch nodes and then handling any errors by then transferring files that wouldn’t open to a separate folder.

Here’s a demo workflow

This may take a while to run with 500k files :wink:

This workflow was written using KNIME 5.1, but should work equally with KNIME 4.7.

The NoOp node is available from NodePit, and does nothing :wink: except provide a means of doing what the branch needs to do!

If you can’t/don’t want to install that, replace it with an Add Empty Rows node, with the config “Additional” set to 0, or you can use my “pass through component” which I wrote before discovering “NoOp”
