Describe the problem/error/question
I am currently facing an issue where n8n cannot link with an Excel sheet as part of our workflow automation. The expected behavior is for n8n to read data from the Excel file and process it according to the configured workflow. However, the connection fails, and the Excel node does not retrieve any data. We have verified that the file format is correct (.xlsx), checked the file path and permissions, and attempted alternative nodes such as “Read Binary File” combined with “Spreadsheet File,” but the problem persists. This issue is impacting automation tasks that rely on Excel data input, and we need guidance on troubleshooting steps or configuration changes to resolve it.
What is the error message (if any)?
Could not load list | 500 - The service was not able to process your request
General exception while processing | Currently no items exist
