[Binary] Error

Hi Folks,

 

I'm getting the following error and tried to troubleshoot by resaving the excel file. But it did not work.  See snapshot below.

Seem like when initially when the column was imported or detected; it was the date. Now it is not.

Please check excel for date column.

I checked the date columns (there are two) in the excel file and the format is configured to date.  Why would that cause an error?
