Help w/ Parse Error

TimK10

Can someone help me - I am getting the following error when trying to parse data from an Excel file.

 

Background Information: 

  • Data is responses to a survey I created in MS Form & is downloaded in Excel
    • Data is dropped into the Report Text tool 
    • This goes to a Render tool, which setup to save each survey as a .pdf
    • Data is coming through Report Text tool fine  
  • Render 2288 - Column 1 is a date.  
  • I have another survey that works fine (this is Week 26 but the Week 7 survey with exactly the same format does fine.)

Hi @TimK10 

 

My guess is that there is a special character (non alphanumeric) in the data that the Render tool is choking on.
