Get data folder issue
Hi everyone,
I have used the new get data / folder option with .CSV files and it has worked perfectly. However when I tried it with a .XLSX it kept having issues when I clicked the button to perform the function of combining binaries. The error came up that it couldnt recognise the file type. I then saved the reports into .CSV and they worked.
The data is a simple table with 14 columns and each document has roughly 32 rows with cells containing either a date or text.
Has anyone else had this issue or is this function limited to .CSV?
Thanks,
Giles
