Error: dataformat.error 'text' is an invalid xmlnodetype

Greetings!

 

I'm importing a folder with a series of sheets in xlsx format., I'm not having problems with the error dataformat.error 'text' is an invalid xmlnodetype.

 

I tried to create a custom column then use Excel.Workbook containing, "Excel.Workbook[Content]), but the problem was not resolved as seen in the image below.

I make available the files that I need to be read: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/10RNAAKY2IQJbcHzocw58rBHOtNFyqLij

 

I need help trying to solve this problem and be able to read this spreadsheet database in Power Query.

Thank you very much in advance! 🙂

Hi @jbwtp 

 

In fact, it was wrong to write the code, however when fixing it, I still can't join the tables.
Until then, the solution I got was transforming the spreadsheets into CSV by VBA, so that after that I could perform the reading within the Power Query correctly, this generates more slowness within my automation via python, but it was the best solution so far time.

Hi @Hammerschmidt,

 

I think that you should have the column reference in brackets:

Excel.Workbook [Content] )

 

Kind regards,

John
