I am working on an Excel file that has embedded RExcel and calls a function from R through RApply in thousands of cells. The problem that I encounter is when I try to download some files in CSV format, I obtained a message which states that a severe error has occured and all my Excel files are shut down.
I would appreciate some assistance in what I could do in order to prevent this problem!

I am using Azure Synapse Link for Dynamics 365. It automatically exports data from Dynamics 365 in CSV format into blob storage/data lake. I use the COPY INTO function to load the data into a Dedicated Pool instance. However, the contact model has recently started failing.
I investigated the issue and found that the cause was due to a field that has an image encoded as text. I only copy selected fields from the CSV files and this is not one of them, but it still causes the copy to fail. I manually updated the CSV file to exclude this data from the one row where it was found and it worked fine.
The error message associated with the error is:
The column is too long in the data file for row 1328, column 32.
This is supposed to be an automated process so I do not want to be manually editing CSV files when this occurs. Are there any parameters that I can add to the COPY INTO function to prevent this error? I tried using MAXERRORS but that made no difference.
The only other thing that I could think of is to write a script (maybe an Azure Function?) that checks the file for this issue and corrects it. Maybe there is a simpler approach though?
It seems that the XYZ Studio has some problems with accepting files. The upload of .geojson and .csv files is recommended but it tells me i am trying to upload "unsupported file types". It still worked a few weeks ago but i cannot upload any .geojson and .csv files right now.
Kindly crosscheck the names in the header of your csv file. If the file does not have columns labelled Latitude and Longitude, the xyz studio may give you a message saying that you are trying to upload an unsupported file.
I ran into a similar issue. Turns out HERE Studio prefers comma (,) CSVs only. If modifying in excel and it gets saved as a caret (^) CSV, the uploader will only read the file as one wide column and pop out errors.
If HERE is listening, some documentation on properly formatted file types, formats, and limitations along with sample code for the .CSVs, json, shape, and GEOjson files would be immensely helpful to users of Studio as there is little in the way on the API/platform documentation.
I have developed one SSIS package where I need to take records from database and send it in CSV file. While doing so I found that the csv file when opened in excel is showing some column records with = sign eg "=D7". Can you please suggest how to overcome the issue? Thanks,pallabi
Problem
-I have an excel spreadsheet generated a lotus app. It smells and looks like excel but Excel Source data flow source can not recognise it. When trying to select a table(tab) i get the following error message "External table is not in the expected format.”
-Opening the excel spreadsheet and save it again helps(File also reduces in size). But as dev we ara allegic to manual processes.
-I have tried to change the connection string using a variable
from
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\DataImport\Lotus.xls;Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=YES";
To
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\DataImport\Lotus.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 12.0;HDR=YES";
If i can avoid the script task that would be great
I have had to open and close the excel file manually saving. Those bugs that can't be fixed
I had the same error, your post led me to open the excel file but my excel file was corrupt. I'm posting in case this helps someone else.
I have code using Apache POI written to read data from .xls worksheets using hssf. I'd like for the program to read .xlsx worksheets as well using org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel. Here is the code:
(_fileName is passed into the function)
java.io.FileInputStream fs = new java.io.FileInputStream(_fileName)
Workbook book = WorkbookFactory.create(fs);
It throws the following exception for a .xlsx file: InavlidFormatException - Can't read the content types part !
I'm doing this in Visual Studio, so the output window says "A first chance exception of type 'org.apache.poi.openxml4j.exceptions.InvalidFormatException' occurred in poi-ooxml-3.7-20101029.dll'.
And for a .xls file, the output window says "A first chance exception of type 'java.io.IOException' occurred in IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll"
It would be great if someone could help me solve this issue. Been working on this since yesterday.
Thank you so much!!!

The error message indicates that your .xlsx file isn't a valid one. I'd double check you're passing in the correct file, and that it's really an Excel one (and not something else - in your .xlsx case I suspect you just have a normal zip file)
