    Hi , Jeremy19 

    According to your error message, you seem to have encountered a problem with the data conversion format when using R script, I think you can first follow this official document to check whether your local computer is completely configured for the R script environment, and check whether you have encountered any restrictions:

Thank you I have reproduced the example on my data with this code which works :
library(readxl)
dataset<- read_excel("D:/Event.xlsx")
output<-dataset
output$test<-1

I still have a problem, locally it works but my data source is an online Excel on Sharepoint. Do I have to do a read_excel() in the R script? How to do it with a web link. The error tells me that the path does not exist
