Error message the key didnt match any rows in the table

Hello everyone,

 

i want to load data from a excel worksheet into my report and always get the following error:

 

Expression.Error: The key didn't match any rows in the table.
Details:
Key=
Item=test
Kind=Sheet
Table=[Table]

 

I already have data from another excel file in my report and it works well.

The files are in the same folder. 

When moving one file to another folder, i don't get the error.

Hey @lisaott ,

 

this error message usually comes when the sheet you're looking for doesn't exist in the current Excel file.

Make sure, that the sheets are named similar and exist in every Excel file.
