@achamm - you’ve helped with similar issues before, can you take a look?

@Priya_J , is the ID valid?

Since your n8n version is so ancient, does updating n8n help?

That error usually means the node is looking for the table in the wrong place, not that the ID is broken. Data tables belong to a project, and the Read Rows node only finds tables inside the project the workflow is running from. So an ID copied from somewhere else, or a workflow that was duplicated or moved between projects, throws exactly this.

Simplest check: open the node and pick the table from the dropdown instead of pasting the ID. The list is already filtered to what this workflow can reach, so whatever shows there will work. If the dropdown is empty, the table lives in another project, so either move the table or move the workflow so they match.

Also worth ruling out: if the table was deleted and recreated recently, the new one gets a fresh ID and the old one sitting in the node fails the same way.

The issue it reads table from Personal space but is not able to pull data from it. Seems like a permission issue.

that’s the problem dropdown shows the table but when we pull the data we get this error

If the table appears in the selector, the next thing to verify is the execution’s project/version, not just whether you can see the table in the editor. A workflow can run a saved or published version whose table selection is stale.

Open the workflow from the same Personal project that contains the table, select the table again from the dropdown, save, and publish/activate the updated version if it runs from a trigger. Then test a fresh manual execution and a fresh production execution. If only production fails, check that the updated version was actually published.

If a fresh manual run still returns “Could not find the data table” while both items are in Personal, compare the table ID shown in the node with the current ID in Data Tables. If they match, this looks like a Cloud/runtime issue rather than a normal sharing setting; report the workflow/execution IDs, table ID, and node version to n8n support (omit credentials and row data).
