KNIME NOT EXECUTING

[ayesha_target]

I am having hard time executing the files that i added.Error i am having is following Execute failed: The following columns are not contained in all source files: [Sourcesystem, Settlement Date Contractual, Trade Date, Scat Nam, Age Band, Age, Age Band 2, Debit Credit, Metr Cat, Line Item Typ, L5 Location, Ownership Code, L7 Group, L6 Group, L5 Group, L4 Group, L3 Group, L7 Owner, L6 Owner, L5 Owner, L4 Owner, L2 Country, L1 City, Legal Entity Key

So if i add files they have to be same field names?

Can you provide an example workflow, and maybe attach a few screenshots, that shows what you’ve tried so far? The description you’ve written is a bit hard to understand.

hi @ayesha_target
some links to forum threads that discuss this error:

1. Excel Reader Node fails to read-in several files in a folder
2. Read-In of multiple Files → Error due to different Column Read-In of multiple Files -> Error due to different Column Type Casting
3. Excel Reader Multiple Files Fails: Excel Reader Multiple Files Fails

hope this helps.
