Hi,

Could you provide the excel file? If the data is sensitive, could you provide fake or anonymized data so that we can see what the problem could be? Please make sure the fake/anonymized data produces the same error.

Hi Victor, Thanks for the response!

Kindly find the dummy file attched

I get a prompt ( see screenshot attched ) , to which we say ‘Yes’. It (file) is a download from SAP.

Hi @mlauber71 , Thanks , Its a Excel 97-2003 Worksheet.

The file is “broken” in some way. Reopen it in excel and save it again as xls file under new name. Then the normal excel reader works fine.
