Hello!

The problem is that you’re opening the same Excel File at the same time. If you need to read the excel file again, just use the same “Read Range” that you used above, so you do not have to open it again

I agree with @Lucas.Pimenta
Just delete the second one, because you only need to get the datatable before the ForEach one time:

Hi,

That error means that column name “SoldTo” does not exist in the datatable.
You can solve this by checking the Excel file to make sure there are no typos or checking the “Add Headers” checkbox in the Read Range properties.

Hope this helps.
