Unable to Read Excel in Revit 2025

I want to start this with… I love you all… BUT… Currently my only method to read excel is to find an old graph and copy and paste the Data.ImportExcel node. I don’t mean to sound crass, but how is that acceptable to users? The openXML node doesn’t function with my excel files regardless if I have Archi-lab installed. I know i’ve read issues with the other node, but i legit have never had an issue with it. It’s very frustrating when trying to sell people on what dynamo is when things that seemed to function just fine get broken. I think generally it’s frustrating because when you read all of this, everyone is celebrating all of the hard work Konrad (and others) has devoted, yet we’re depending on him (them) for what should be at this point basically core functionality.
