Thanks!

    The Gateway connection is running according to your login and personal gateway level. If any time you update your password, please remember to go to Settings of this Gateway and Edit credential

      Please map the folder, if all Excel files are kept in the folder, no need to create a separate connection for that.
      In the gateway setting, you can select an existing connection
