    You cannot access password protected files, so that will need to be removed unfortunately.

Hi! Anonymous 

 

Can you check that your excel file has correct data type for all columns and there are no special characters in your data. The error seems to be due to the source file.

The problem is the excel files are password protected, after posting this help request. i noticed the files are loaded to share point with password protected.

      Hi, we are having the same issue after a system update on the program that generates the reports. They aren't password protected, is there something else we can try?

        Hi, I think we might be having the same issue. Do you use Wdesk, and were you able to find a solution?
