Failing to Add Excel file to Standard data gateway

Hi  Ibrahim_shaik,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

Ensure that the file path provided in the connection settings is accurate and accessible from the machine where the gateway is installed. To verify this, try manually accessing the file using the same path and credentials from the gateway machine. This will help confirm whether the issue is related to incorrect file path configuration or insufficient access permissions.

Also Verify if the credentials you are using are correct and have the necessary read permissions. Ensure that you are using the appropriate Windows credentials, including the correct username and password. Additionally, try entering the credentials in the format "domain\username" instead of just the username to avoid authentication issues.
