Will you please share when you are getting this error?

The excel comprises of three worksheets , two of which has peroidical data(mostly with simple SUM formulas) , and one worksheet has only a chart.
Due to some constraints, I will not be able to share the excel sheet.

As soon as I am launching excel through Excel Application Scope, I get this error on my screen.

Thanks! That works… :slight_smile: :thumbsup:

Also, can you suggest me one more thing? I am getting an error message while I am trying to read a cell in an excel sheet using the Read Range activity. I have tried changing the name of the excel sheet(tab) under name manager, but still it is unable to read the sheet. The error message is as follows -
Main has thrown an exception

Message: The sheet does not exist

Source: Read range

Exception Type: ArgumentException

System.ArgumentException: The sheet does not exist

Check the sheet name may be it is containg the space with name or just
rename it and let me know

It is working now.
Apparently,we need to take the name of the sheet that appears on the bottom of the excel sheet and not the one which appears under the Name Manager.

Ohh you did not know that . Now you knows :wink:
