    Hi blackshep01,

     

    I just verified that I can add Excel Data Source to my On-Prem Data Gateway successfully without this issue. 

     

    Based on my research and test, this issue occurs usually when the file path, or the Windows username/passwork is incorrect. Could you go to recheck these settings (I'm using the 'NTDomain\user_name' as the Windows username). Here is a similar thread for your reference. :smileyhappy:

     

    In addition, make sure you're using the latest version of Gateway.

     

    Regards
