Parameter name: sheetName ![erro_dynamo_excel](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/f/f32268c525f2a8be9dd6399d7d2126368028bb4e.png) ---

Hi Anta, Use the node “File Path” (Core\>File\>Input\> File Path) and browse for your file that way, then connect it to the “File.FromPath”. Additionally, check that your sheet name you are referencing is correct, if it looks right but still does not work, I suggest changing the sheet name to something else.   ![C11](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/6/68e65da7cd808503204f2885acaaf7880fb7b882.png) ---

I am having the same issue. I set up the string to run to create and excel file and now trying to reimport the data i added. Well the out part worked just fine, but now it won’t read the excel file it created no matter what. I’ve checked sheet name, renamed the sheet on the out and in and no luck. I must be missing something. Any help is appreciated. Might be a rookie mistake since I’m still new to this! Thank you! ![Excel OUT](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/d/d9c83190a87e1b235e8435deb4078bfa53a9ff83.png)         ![Excel IN](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/5/56b28b4a8365ed08892acfd2210478f8b7dfeb56.png) ---

Hi Melissa, Please try adding the node “File.FromPath” between the “File Path” and “Excel.ReadFromFile” node. ![C12](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/8/87a0d7f25440168e3f6f03dd319f5c8e94c63696.png) ---

Hello [Melissa Stewart](http://dynamobim.com/forums/users/melissa-stewartcaddmicrosystems-com/ "View Melissa Stewart's profile"), Sorry for the confusion, I will try to get it fix. (MAGN-63065 logged for the same) Actually Excel\>ReadFromFile and Excel.WriteToFile should directly work with File Path node. Hello [Danny Nguyen](http://dynamobim.com/forums/users/dannydnggmail-com/ "View Danny Nguyen's profile") and [Peter Kompolschek](http://dynamobim.com/forums/users/officekompolschek-at/ "View Peter Kompolschek's profile"), Thanks for providing solutions.
