Hello,

Read range : Your stream was neither an OLE2 stream, nor an OOXML stream

Works fine for me with both Excel Activities. Any package updates recently? You need to downgrade your excel package

Hi @AalpeA
As you have mentioned if i downgrade the current excel package then i guess there is a possibility of getting error in other excel activities too. Is there any alternative way to solve this issue. Kindly do let me know. Thanks.

I observed Read Range workbook activities is giving this error while reading a .xls file.
However, it works completely fine while using Excel Application Scope and then, using Read Range activity from UiPath.Excel.Activities.
