Hi @Raj_2 

Yes it is.

Could you please share a printscreen of the error? What kind of file within your zip file are you trying to import?

Cheers,

[Raj_2]

am getting the attached error. Note when I open this file am getting an error that the extension is not valid. So I save this again, if I save this again from zip it can be connected. But I want to connect directly and run it through work flow. Is it due to excel name extension. Is there any solution to run directly from zip.

Also note that the zip file name was originally, 2018.xls.zip

looks like it is a RTF template renamed as excel and then zipped. Is it possible

hi @Raj_2 

I had the same issue this morning when trying to export to an xls file. 

All i done was to re install the drive again and you can get the driver from the following link
