Hi everyone.

I'm facing the same issue here.  I'm trying to combine Excel files from a Sharepoint folder, but when I try to expand the content I get the "unexpected error" message.  Has this been solved?  Is there a workaround?

No resolution just yet. I have a support ticket in and we're working through the issue.

Initially msft concluded that it was a file type issues but after testing that was deemed to not be the case. Your issue with Excel files contributes to that view.

I'll link your comment to my case and keep you updated.
