Hi!
Multiple of my colleagues and me included experience problem with the render tool, I get the error "Render (130) Exception parse error line: 1 column: 40 invalid byte 'k' at position 2 of a 3-byte sequence". Do any of you know where to look for the error and how to solve it? Please also see attached error from my colleague.
Thank you in advance!
@erikasandmark This error might be because of the non-ascii characters in the data. Can you try to remove the non-ascii characters using a regex before passing to the render tool

If I change the output mode to "temporary excel 2007 sheet" it works, but if I want to choose a specific output file (still xlsx) then the error appears.
Hi @erikasandmark ,
how are you specifying the output file folder, name and format?
Can you share the workflow? we don't need any data, or mock data will be fine.

For everyone, I just had the exact same error with a customer. What fixed it was simple:
They had the German character "ä" in the filename of the render tool, replacing that character resolved it. The assumption is; every non ASCII character in the filename of the render tool might produce the error seen in the screenshot.
