Hi,

I’m trying to read in an XSLX using the XLSDataReader and am having some issues.  
I’ve narrowed down the issue to 3 adjacent columns in my file and if I map any of these three columns in the reader component, I get an error message:

```auto
ERROR [WatchDog] - Node XLS_GROUPS finished with status: ERROR caused by: Cannot get a text value from a error cell

```

I have no idea what an “error cell” is but it’s a simple text column in the spreadsheet.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!  
Chris

Hello, Chris,

it seems that the error is in some cell in your excel file, not in your graph. Can you please send me some sample of your xlsx file where this error appears? If it is possible, send also your graph, just to be sure. Thank you.

Best regards,
