Error: Data.ImportExcel operation failed :frowning_face: How can I import info from an Excel file?? I see that this topic has been covered. I am new at Dynamo and coding. Although, I tried the other threads’ suggestions I couldn’t find a solution. I would love your help. [Dynamo_projectStartup_Er…

i think Benjamin_Doty1 is using Dynamo Version 1.3 /2 and you are using 2.0

Thanks Lucifer, What do you recommend to get the Data.ImportExcel node to work? Is there a similar node (and/or package) that you recommend for importing Excel data into Dynamo?

[image] r.ungerer: Error: Data.ImportExcel operation failed Warning: Data.ImportExcel operation failed As seen in the image above the Data.ImportExcel node failed. Thus I was not able to import any data from my Excel sheet.

I don’t seem to have a problem with 2.0.1 either [2018-12-06_15-20-26]

I see that yours is working. Do you have any idea why mine is not? What version of Revit are you using? What version of Excel are you using? Is your Excel file saved as a .xlsx or .xls file? Thanks!

did you try closing and run it again? mine is also working as expected

Working!!! I’ve restarted my entire computer. Excel asked me to accept Microsoft agreement. I did. Then I restarted Dynamo and reran the script. Now it works!!! Thanks Benjamin_Doty1 & lucifer for helping me problem solve.

Aaaaand I’m adding accepting the terms of use to the list of reasons Excel interop can fail…
