Error when extracting excel files from SharePoint site
Hi all,
I get below error when I try to import some excel files from SharePoint folder.
can you please assist
amalrio is it a xlsx or xls file? Seems like it is xls file and if that is the case you need to install oledb driver as given in the error message.
I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos to whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
